Title:
GENE RELATED TO THE ACTION OF ISOFLAVONES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/108699
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a gene (or product thereof), "Pap associated domain containing 5" (Papd5), identified as a gene necessary for equol to exhibit anticancer activity, for use as a biomarker for diagnosing the effectiveness, in a subject, of an anticancer substance selected from a group comprising equol, daidzein, and analogs thereof. Also disclosed is a product for detecting a biomarker using PCR, a DNA array, ELISA, a protein array, mass spectrometry, or immunochromatography. Further disclosed is a method for determining the effectiveness, in a subject, of an anticancer substance selected from a group comprising equol, daidzein, and analogs thereof. Said method includes a step for detecting the transcription or expression of Papd5 in a sample taken from the subject.
