摘要:
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 HNF1&agr; gene, MODY4 locus is the HNF1&bgr; and the MODY1 locus is the HNF4&agr; gene. The invention further relates to the discovery that analysis of mutations in the HNF1&agr;, HNF1&bgr; and HNF4&agr; genes can be diagnostic for diabetes. The invention also contemplates methods of treating diabetes in view of the fact that HNF1&agr;, HNF1&bgr; and HNF4&agr; mutations can cause diabetes.

The invention relates generally to compositions of and methods for using polynucleotides encoding kappa opioid receptors. In addition to such polynucleotides themselves, the invention relates to expression vectors comprising polynucleotides encoding kappa opioid receptors, recombinant host cells comprising such polynucleotides, and processes for preparing kappa opioid receptor polypeptides.
摘要:
DNA sequences and methods of obtaining DNA sequences which include a sequence encoding for mammalian epidermal growth factor are provided. The DNA sequences may be used in cloning and expression vectors for production of DNA and RNA and for producing polypeptides including mammalian epidermal growth factor.E. coli strains HB 101 (pmegf1) and HB 101 (pmegf10b), and bacteriophage .lambda.hEGF34 were deposited at the A.T.C.C. on May 10, 1983 and given Accession Nos. 39357, 39358 and 40070, respectively.
