ABSTRACT:
An aminopeptidase which is a component of GLUT4-containing vesicles in the natural state, and which cleaves insulin. The claimed protein has a molecular weight of approximately 110 kD in its deglycosylated form. It includes the amino acid sequences Phe-Ala-Ala-Thr-Gln-Phe-Glu-Pro-Leu-Ala-Ala [SEQ ID NO: 1] and Ile-Leu-Gln-Asn-Gln-Ile-Gln-Gln-Gln-Thr-Arg-Thr-Asp-Glu-Gly-Xaa-Pro-Xaa-Me t [SEQ ID NO: 2], and reacts with antibodies produced against the peptide identified as [SEQ ID NO: 1]. Modulators of the activity of the aminopeptidase and a method for treating syndromes of insulin resistance, including diabetes, by administration of such a modulator are also claimed.
