Orphan GPCRs. Some of the most attractive receptors for drug development are orphan GPCRs. Orphan receptors are often classified as GPCRs through sequence homology but their endogenous ligand remains unknown, roughly 140 non- olfactory GPCRs have yet to be linked to an endogenous ligand (Tang et al. 2012). Identifying ligand(s) capable of activating a GPCR is essential for discerning the physiological function of a receptor and defining its signaling and regulatory mechanisms. However, studies examining the phenotype of cells or animals lacking or overexpressing an orphan GPCR provide an alternative method for identifying a receptor’s function without a known ligand. Additionally, development of crystallization techniques and technological advances have led to additional approaches for studying these receptors. Identification of new and endogenous ligands for orphan GPCRs is an appealing line of research because orphan receptors hold potential, not only as drug targets, but also a unique avenue for uncovering novel insight into basic biology and disease states.

Orphan GPCRs. If CuraGen identifies an orphan GPCR, Bayer and CuraGen, at their discretion, will subject it to deorphaning strategies. If Bayer generates a Configured Assay on the GPCR, such GPCR shall be deemed to be a Screenable Qualified Target delivered by CuraGen to Bayer in the Contract Year in which Bayer generated the Configured Assay.
