摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate for PP2C exhibiting physiological conditions related to a specific treatment, and to discover a modulation factor capable of being used for treating apoptosis, especially neuron apoptosis. SOLUTION: A combination of protein phosphatase 2C as an enzyme and phosphor BAD as a substrate. Phospho-BAD, i.e., a protein, is dephosphorylated at a position of Ser . Further, the combination can be used in an in vitro screening of a ligand which modulates protein phosphatase 2C. The screening comprises the following stages: the protein phosphatase 2C is incubated together with phosphor BAD as a substrate and a ligand of the assay; and the decrease in phosphor BAD, and/or the increase in phosphate and/or BAD are detected. As a result, a new drug for treating apoptosis can be discovered.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide four kinds of splice mutants of a membrane receptor to a steroid or a sterol, and to provide a usage of the same. SOLUTION: A receptor polypeptide to a steroid or a sterol contains various domains, that is leucine rich repetition domains, ankyrin domains and a kinase domain. The polypeptide has a membrane binding property. After the polypeptide is bound to a steroid or a sterol, the kinase domain phosphorylates serine and threonine radicals of a protein to elicit an intracellular signal cascade. The polypeptide contains 600 amino acids, and it contains island domains found between leucine rich repeat domains of the polypeptide. An island domain relates to steroid bonding or sterol bonding. The polypeptide is useful for screening and manufacturing a medicine for a steroid hormone depending disease, and it can be used for such purposes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new means for diagnosing heterotopic endometriosis. SOLUTION: This means for diagnosing the heterotopic endometriosis in vitro is characterized by measuring the amount of at least one genetic product selected from the group consisting of fibronectin, insulin-like proliferation factor- bound protein-2, membrane-penetrating receptor PTK7, platelet-originated proliferation factor receptor alpha, collagen XVIII type alpha 1, subtilisin-like protein (PACE 4), laminin M chain (merosin), elastin, IV type collagen alpha 2, p27 interferon alpha-derived gene, reticulocalbin, aldehyde dehydrogenase 6, gravin, nidogen, and phospholipase C epsilon in a patient sample, comparing the measured amount with the amount of the genetic product in a control sample, and allowing to suggest the presence of the heterotopic endometriosis by showing that the amount of the genetic product in the patient sample is less than the amount of the genetic product in the control sample.
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an injector, which can administer a drug safely and reliably to a living body according to a prescribed method and dosage and can alleviate handling complicatedness and low mechanical reliability, and a holder used therefor. SOLUTION: This injector is constituted by a first syringe 1, a second syringe 2, a Y-shaped connector 3, valve means 4 having functions of allowing or stopping a flow of a liquid and a holder for holding integrally these components. A cylinder end of the first syringe 1 is connected to a first connecting pipe 31 of the Y-shaped connector 3. A cylinder end of the second syringe 2 is connected to a connecting pipe 42 of the valve means 4. A connecting pipe 41 of the valve means 4 is connected to one side of a pipe member 11. The other side of the pipe member 11 is connected to a second connecting pipe 32 of the Y-shaped connector 3. The Y-shaped connector 3 is provided with a one-way valve, which prevents the liquid that flows in from a second connecting port 3b and/or a third connecting port in a third connecting pipe 33 from flowing out from a first connecting port 3a.
