The present invention relates to novel AKT substrate 160kDa-like protein (AS160-like protein), to a method of identifying a substance altering glucose uptake and/or GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane of a cell comprising contacting a test system comprising AKT substrate 160kDa-like protein (AS160-like protein) with a test substance, and identifying a test substance as a substance altering glucose uptake of a cell by detecting a signal indicative for altered glucose uptake of a cell; a test system comprising a gene coding for the AKT substrate 160 kDa-like protein (AS160- like protein) and an inducible promoter providing for controllable expression of the gene; the use of the test system for the identification of a substance improving glucose uptake and/or GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane of a cell; and the use of AS160- like protein in a model for type 2 diabetes.

La présente invention concerne une nouvelle protéine de type substrat AKT de 160 kDa (protéine de type AS160), un procédé d'identification d'une substance modifiant l'absorption du glucose et/ou le transport de GLUT4 vers la membrane plasmatique d'une cellule comprenant la mise en contact d'un système de test comprenant la protéine de type substrat AKT de 160 kDa (protéine de type AS160) avec une substance à tester, et d'identification d'une substance à tester en tant que substance modifiant l'absorption du glucose d'une cellule par la détection d'un signal qui indique la modification de l'absorption du glucose d'une cellule ; un système de test comprenant un gène codant pour la protéine de type substrat AKT de 160 kDa (protéine de type AS160) et un promoteur inductible permettant une expression contrôlée du gène ; l'utilisation du système de test pour l'identification d'une substance qui améliore l'absorption du glucose et/ou le transport de GLUT4 vers la membrane plasmatique d'une cellule ; et l'utilisation de la protéine de type AS160 dans un modèle pour le diabète de type 2.
