PEPTIDE CAPABLE OF BINDING TO INSULIN-BINDING PROTEIN AND ADSORBENT

摘要

It is intended to provide a peptide having an excellent ability to bind to a protein capable of binding to insulin (IBP); an adsorbent comprising this peptide fixed on a water-insoluble support; an adsorption apparatus containing this adsorbent; and a method of adsorbing IBP with the use of the above adsorbent or adsorption apparatus. By using the above-described peptide, adsorbent, adsorption apparatus and method, IBP can be efficiently and selectively adsorbed and removed. Thus, they are usable in, for example, treating diseases on which IBP acts as a worsening factor such as diabetes.
