<p>A novel polypeptide, its peptide fragments or salts thereof; a process for producing this polypeptide; a receptor of the polypeptide; drugs containing the polypeptide, etc.; an antibody against the polypeptide; a method/kit for screening compounds promoting or inhibiting the activity of the polypeptide; the compounds obtained by the screening; and drugs, etc. containing these compounds. The above polypeptide or its peptide fragments are usable as, for example, remedies for nervous diseases and somatostatin excretion promoters. The above antibody is usable in, for example, quantitating the polypeptide in a liquid specimen. Further, the polypeptide is useful as a reagent for screening the compounds promoting or inhibiting the activity of the polypeptide.</p> |
