Company Background

Mantelum was formed to find research focused on specific cell surface receptor targets, especially those related to the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. GPCRs are involved in a wide range of disorders including allergies, cardiovascular disease, pain, depression, cancer, obesity, diabetes and a variety of central nervous system disorders.

For the non-technical

30% of all drugs on the market are aimed at a part of a cell called the GPCR. This is a key area of research for pharmaceutical companies so Mantelum was formed to find research in this area, develop it and sell it to the major pharmaceutical companies.
