    摘要: This discloses a novel human or rat polypeptide useful in improving and/or preventing organ fibrosis and a polynucleotide encoding the aforementioned polypeptide, an expression vector containing the aforementioned polynucleotide, and a cell transfected with the aforementioned expression vector. The aforementioned polynucleotide shows a remarkable decrease in the expression dose in the kidney of a chronic renal insufficiency model rat and in the bladder of a rat suffering from the induction of fibrotic conditions in the bladder, compared with a normal individual. Also, the production of extracellular matrix is suppressed by overexpression of the aforementioned polypeptide. Also disclosed are the promoter region of the aforementioned polypeptide, a method for screening a remedy for fibrotic conditions, and a process for producing a medicinal composition for improving fibrotic conditions which contains a substance obtained by the aforementioned screening method as the active ingredient.

    摘要: A screening tool for an agent for promoting insulin production and/or an agent for increasing insulin content, wherein the tool is a G protein-coupled receptor exhibiting an activity of promoting insulin production by activation, or a cell expressing the polypeptide, is disclosed. Further, a method for screening an agent for promoting insulin production and/or an agent for increasing insulin content, comprising the steps of bringing the cell or a cell membrane thereof into contact with a substance to be tested, and analyzing whether or not the polypeptide is activated, is disclosed. The screening tool and the screening method are useful in screening a substance which increases insulin content and prevents and/or treats diabetes. Furthermore, a novel agent for increasing insulin content comprising as an active ingredient a substance obtained by the screening, is disclosed.
