<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drug for prevention/treatment of neural degenerative disorders (e.g. polyglutamine disease). <P>SOLUTION: The drug for prevention/treatment of neural degenerative disorders includes an HMGB family protein or its derivative, for example, the protein (a) or the protein (b). (a): A protein having an amino acid sequence as described in the protein sequence number 2, 4, 6 or 8. (b): A protein having an amino acid sequence in which one or more amino acids are lost from, substituted with, added to and inserted in an amino acid sequence as described in the protein sequence number 2, 4, 6 or 8 and having avidity to the abnormal polyglutamine protein occurring in neural degenerative disorders. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
