DRUGS CONTAINING reg PROTEIN AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

摘要

A cell-proliferating agent and a human sugar level depressant both containing a human or rat reg protein as the active ingredient. Because these drugs enable regeneration of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, it is possible to resort to the causal therapy of regeneration and activation of the pancreatic beta cells of a patient with diabetes himself instead of resorting to the conventional symptomatic therapy of insulin administration. In addition, because the reg protein can proliferate Langerhans' islands, the drugs are useful as a human sugar level depressant.
