摘要

It is provided an insulin resistance marker, a method of evaluating insulin resistance, a method of screening a substance that improves insulin resistance, and a pharmaceutical composition for improving insulin resistance. An insulin resistance marker including a polypeptide comprising at least any 15 continuous amino acids in the specific amino acid sequence (sequence of a proepithelin protein). An insulin resistance marker including a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of a polynucleotide comprising at least any 45 continuous bases in the base sequence encoding the above specific amino acid sequence, and a polynucleotide that is complementary to the polynucleotide.
