Title:
INSULIN SECRETION PROMOTING PEPTIDE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/158491
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a peptide that promotes insulin secretion, and a use for said peptide. A search for insulin secretion promoting factors present in a culture supernatant of brown adipocytes (BA-SUP) derived from human pluripotent stem cells led to the identification of a bioactive peptide that promotes insulin secretion. Through the development of a peptide that imitates said peptide, it was discovered that a short-chain linear peptide capable of forming an α-helix structure exhibits strong insulin secretion promoting activity. Moreover, it was discovered that by heat-treating said peptide under acidic conditions or freeze-drying the peptide after dissolving in a buffer solution, the peptide becomes an active form having an increased insulin secretion promoting effect. Said peptide exhibited an effect of promoting insulin secretion using pancreatic beta cells, and of reducing the blood sugar level in vivo. The peptide group according to the present invention is expected to be applicable to the development of a therapeutic medication for glucose metabolism disorders.
