摘要
The invention is directed to methods for diagnosing Type II diabetes or the risk for developing Type II diabetes by detecting alterations in expression, sequence, or function of carboxypeptidase E nucleic acid or protein. The invention is also directed to methods for preventing or treating Type II diabetes by modulating the levels, altering the sequence, or controlling the function of carboxypeptidase E nucleic acid or protein. The invention is also directed to methods for identifying agents that modulate the levels or affect the function of carboxypeptidase E nucleic acid or protein. The invention is also directed to methods using the agents to treat or diagnose Type II diabetes. The invention is also directed to animal models of Type II diabetes using the carboxypeptidase E gene. The invention is also directed to compositions based on carboxypeptidase E nucleic acid or protein useful for treating or diagnosing diabetes, identifying compounds for treating or diagnosing diabetes, and developing animal models of diabetes.
