Obesity drugs and their targets: correlation of mouse knockout phenotypes with drug effects in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Sequencing of the human genome has yielded thousands of potential drug targets. The difficulty now is in determining which targets have real therapeutic value and should be the focus of a drug discovery effort. The available evidence suggests that knockout technology can be used prospectively to identify targets that are amenable to drug development for the treatment of a variety of diseases. This review compares...
