A novel polypeptide which is useful in screening an insulin resistance improving agent and a saccharometabolism improving agent; a polynucleotide encoding the above polypeptide; an expression vector containing the above polynucleotide; and cells transformed by the above expression vector. The above-described polypeptide is a protein which is expressed in skeletal muscle and the overexpression of which inhibits the uptake of saccharides into cells. A method of screening an insulin resistance improving agent and a saccharometabolism improving agent by using the above polypeptide; and a process for producing a medicinal composition for improving insulin resistance and/or improving saccharometabolism which comprises a substance obtained by the above screening method as the active ingredient.

Cette invention concerne un nouveau polypeptide pouvant être utilisé pour le criblage d'un agent améliorant la résistance à l'insuline et d'un agent améliorant le métabolisme des sucres ; un polynucléotide ledit codant polypeptide ; un vecteur d'expression contenant ledit polynucléotide ; et des cellules modifiées par ledit vecteur d'expression. Le polypeptide susmentionné est une protéine qui est exprimée dans le muscle squelettique. La surexpression de cette protéine inhibe l'absorption des saccharides dans les cellules. Cette invention concerne également une méthode de criblage d'un agent améliorant la résistance à l'insuline et d'un agent améliorant le métabolisme des sucres au moyen dudit polypeptide, ainsi qu'un procédé de production d'une composition thérapeutique permettant d'améliorer la résistance à l'insuline et/ou d'améliorer le métabolisme des sucres et contenant, comme ingrédient actif, une substance obtenue au moyen de ladite méthode de criblage.
