摘要:
The ligand polypeptides of the present invention have activity to regulate CRH secretion, and thus are useful as CRH secretion regulators for the relief, prevention or treatment of various diseases related to CRH secretion, such as hypoaldosteronism, hypocortisolemia, secondary and chronic adrenocorticism, Addison's disease (weakness, nausea, pigmentation, hypogonadism, alopecia, and hypotension), adrenal dysfunction, and obesity, and also as analgesics.
摘要:
The present invention relates to use of peptide to which G-protein coupled receptor protein recognizes as a ligand. Since the ligand polypeptide of the present invention has a stimulating action on oxytocin secresion, it is useful as a drug for ameliorating, preserving or treating various diseases related to oxytocin secretion such as uterine inertia, atonic hemorrhage, placental expulsion, subinvolution and the like.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel polypeptide, its partial peptide or salt thereof, a method for manufacturing the polypeptide, a receptor of the polypeptide, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide or the like, an antibody to the polypeptide, a method/kit for screening a compound that promotes or inhibits an activity of the polypeptide or salt thereof, a compound that can be obtained by the screening, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound, and the like. The polypeptide, its partial peptide or the like of the present invention can be used, for example, as a therapeutic agent for nervous disease, a promoting agent for somatostatin secretion and the like. Further, the antibody of the present invention can be used for a quantification of the polypeptide of the present invention in a sample solution. Furthermore, the polypeptide of the present invention is useful for a reagent for screening a compound that promotes or inhibits the activity of the polypeptide of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention aims at providing an antibody, by which metastin or its derivative can be quantified specifically with a high sensitivity, a method of detecting/quantifying metastin or its derivative using the antibody, and a diagnostic agent (e.g., a diagnostic for pregnancy) the same. Specifically, an antibody capable of specifically reacting with a partial peptide at the N-terminus or C-terminus of a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 or its derivative, and a method of detecting/quantifying metastin or its derivative using the antibody as well as a diagnostic agent using the same.

摘要:
Disclosed are a monoclonal antibody having affinity for PACAP, a partial peptide thereof, a precursor thereof or VIP; a hybridoma cell which produces the above monoclonal antibody; and an immunoassay for assaying PACAP by a competitive method or a sandwich method using the above antibody, whereby PACAP can be specifically detected with high sensitivity.
摘要:
The present invention relates to rat cerebellum-derived and human brain-derived G protein coupled receptor proteins or salts thereof, their partial peptides, amides, esters or salts thereof, ligands to the same, a method/kit for screening compounds that alter the binding property between the ligands and the G protein coupled receptor proteins, compounds obtained by the screening or salts thereof, and antibodies to the G protein coupled receptor proteins. The rat cerebellum-derived and human brain-derived G protein coupled receptor proteins and the like are useful: (1) for determination of a ligand to the receptor protein of the present invention (ligand peptide of the present invention) (agonist), (2) as an agent for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with dysfunction of the G protein coupled receptor protein of the present invention, (3) as a genetic diagnostic agent, (4) for quantification of a ligand to the G protein coupled receptor protein of the present invention, (5) for screening of a compound (agonist, antagonist, etc.) that alters the binding property between the G protein coupled receptor protein of the present invention and a ligand (ligand peptide of the present invention), (6) as a agent for the prevention and/or treatment of various diseases, comprising a compound (agonist, antagonist, etc.) that alters the binding property between the G protein coupled receptor protein of the present invention and a ligand (ligand peptide of the present invention), (7) for quantification of the receptor protein, its partial peptide or salts of the present invention, (8) for neutralization by antibodies to the receptor protein, its partial peptide or salts of the present invention and (9) for preparation of a non-human animal bearing the DNA encoding the G protein coupled receptor protein of the present invention.
摘要:
Novel antibodies useful because of having the binding specificity for β-amyloid or derivatives thereof with β-amyloid acting as an immunogen, or monoclonal antibodies which recognize the N-terminus, C-terminus and central portion, respectively, of β-amyloid. The combination of these antibodies provides an assay method whereby β-amyloid can be specifically determined with a high sensitivity. This method is useful for diagnosing diseases in which β-amyloid or a derivative thereof participates, such as Alzheimer's disease, and the antibodies are useful for developing preventive or therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease.
