<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a protein regulating various adipocyte-related activity including UCP expression in adipocyte, heat generation, differentiation and insulin sensitivity. <P>SOLUTION: The invention provides an antisense nucleic acid molecule, a recombinant expression vector containing PGC-1 nucleic acid molecule, a host cell into which the expression vector is introduced, and a nonhuman transgenic animal in which a PGC-1 gene is introduced or disrupted. Further provided are an isolated PGC-1 protein, a fused protein, an antigenic peptide, an anti-PGC-1 antibody, and a method for the diagnosis, screening and treatment by using the composition. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
