Neuropeptide Y fragment capable of releasing hematopoietic stem cells into blood and treating osteoporosis
The present invention relates to a novel peptide exhibiting an effect of releasing myelopoiesis stem cells into blood and an osteoporosis therapeutic effect and use thereof and, in particularly, to a novel peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID.NO:1 which has effects of releasing hematopoietic stem cells into a bloodstream and decreasing osteoclast cells in bone narrow, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel peptide as an active ingredient for preventing or treating neutropenia, anemia or osteoporosis. Because of side effects, the peptide of the present invention not only increases level of leukocytes, red blood cells and platelets in blood, but also alleviates a decrease in bone density, and therefore, can be very usefully used for the development of a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for neutropenia, anemia or osteoporosis.
IN VIVO PROTEIN N-ACYLATION
Described are a genetically modified microorganism and corresponding methods and products. The genetically modified microorganism may include a first gene that encodes an acyl transferase and a second gene that encodes a peptide or protein. One or both of the first and second gene may be heterologous. The genetically modified microorganism may include a modified acyl-CoA biosynthetic pathway configured for one or more of: inducible biosynthesis of an acyl-CoA and over-accumulation of the acyl-CoA. The genetically modified microorganism may be effective upon fermentation to cause acylation of the peptide or protein by the acyl transferase using the acyl-CoA to provide a N-acylated peptide or protein product.
Protein tyrosine-tyrosine analogs and methods of using the same
PYY analogs are disclosed that include modifications that increase half-life when compared to native, human PYY, as well as additional modifications that increase potency and selectivity to the NPY2 receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions also are disclosed that include one or more of the PYY analogs described herein in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of making and using the PYY analogs also are disclosed, especially for treating obesity and obesity-related diseases and disorders such as type II diabetes mellitus.
NEUROMODULATING COMPOSITIONS AND RELATED THERAPEUTIC METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
