The present invention relates generally to the fields diabetes. More particularly, it concerns the identification of genes responsible for NIDDM for use in diagnostics and therapeutics. The present invention demonstrates that the MODY3 locus is, in fact, the HNF-1α gene, MODY4 locus is the HN-F1β and the MODY1 locus is the HNF-4α gene. The invention further relates to the discovery that analysis of mutations in the HNF-1α, HNF-1β and HNF-4α genes can be diagnostic for diabetes. The invention also contemplates methods of treating diabetes in view of the fact that HNF-1α, HNF-1β and HNF-4α mutations can cause diabetes.

The invention relates generally to compositions of and methods for obtaining somatostatin receptors. The invention relates as well to the DNA sequences encoding somatostatin receptors, the recombinant vectors carrying those sequences, the recombinant host cells including either the sequences or vectors, and recombinant somatostatin receptor polypeptides. By way of example, the invention discloses th cloning and functional expression of at least three different somatostatin receptors, SSTR1, SSTR2 and SSTR3 from two different mammalian sources. The invention includes as well, methods for using the isolated, recombinant receptor polypeptides in assays designed to select and improve substances capable of interacting with somatostatin receptor polypeptides for use in diagnostic, drug design and therapeutic applications.
摘要:
L'invention concerne d'une manière générale des compositions et des procédés permettant d'obtenir des récepteurs de somotostatine. L'invention concerne également des séquences d'ADN codant des récepteurs de somotostatine, les vecteurs de recombinaison portant ces séquences, les cellules hôtes de recombinaison comprenant soit les séquences soit les vecteurs, et des polypeptides de récepteurs de somotostatine de recombinaison. A titre d'exemple, l'invention concerne le clonage et l'expression fonctionnelle d'au moins trois récepteurs différents de somotostatine, SSTR1, SSTR2 et SSTR3 à partir de deux sources mammifères différentes. L'invention comprend également des procédés d'utilisation des polypeptides de récepteurs de recombinaison dans des dosages destinés à sélectionner et améliorer des substances capables d'avoir une interaction avec des polypeptides de récepteurs de somotostatine à des fins diagnostiques, de mise au point de médicaments et à des applications thérapeutiques.
