preparation example Construction

[0132] In the preparation of peptides, recombinant DNA technology or cell lines expressing these peptides can also be used. These recombination methods are well known in the art. Methods of generating rDNA molecules are well known in the art, see Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning-A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989). In order to express the recombinant peptide of the present invention, an expression vector is prepared, which includes a nucleic acid encoding a related polypeptide under the control of one or more regulatory elements. The nucleic acid sequence encoding the peptide of the invention can be deduced from the peptide sequence described or claimed herein.

[0133] By methods well known in the art, the isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding related peptides can be ligated into a suitable expression vector. The host expression vector system that can be used for the purpose of the present invention includes, but is not limited to: microorganisms,...

Embodiment 1

[0195] Savagine and other non-selective CRFR agonists are generally not effective in treating CRF 2 R-modulated conditions, because these agonists also activate CRF 1 R, which leads to undesirable side effects.

Abstract

Isolated corticotropin releasing factor derivatives, and nucleic acids encoding the same, are effective for treating corticotropin releasing factor 2 receptor modulated disorders such as muscular dystrophy.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with the international application number PCT / US03 / 01461 and the national application number 03802370.9. Invention field [0002] The present invention relates to novel peptides and nucleic acids encoding the peptides in the treatment of CRF 2 Application in R-regulated disorders. Background of the invention [0003] CRFR and ligand [0004] So far, at least two corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) receptors (CRF) have been identified 1 R and CRF 2 R), they belong to the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) class. CRF 1 R or CRF 2 Agonist activation of R results in G of adenylate cyclase αs activation. Adenylate cyclase catalyzes the formation of cAMP, which in turn has multiple effects, including activation of protein kinase A, intracellular calcium release, and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase). In other studies, after the activation of the CRF receptor agonist, the increase in t...
