The present invention relates to methods for identifying genes regulated by fat and their subsequent use in determining compositions for use in the treatment of disease, by utilizing the identified genes and their proteins. The identified compositions regulate the expression of the fat regulated genes or modulate the activity of their protein products. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences for METP, a novel mitochondrial carrier protein and FTF1, a fat responsive transcription factor, are taught. The nucleotide sequence for A1BG, a plasma glycoprotein is taught. The nucleotide and amino add sequences for human GPAT and rat GLOL are taught. Control sequences for human METP, GLOL, FTF1, SCD, GPAT and A1BG are taught. Polyunsaturated fatty acid regulation functions are taught for SCD1, SCD2, SCD, G6PD, GPAT, FAS, COMT, Apo A-1, INSIG1, FTF1, GLOL, A1GB, Spot-14, delta-3, delta-2-enoyl-CoA isomerase, and METP
本发明涉及鉴定受脂肪调节的基因的方法,以及随后利用鉴定的基因及其蛋白质确定用于治疗疾病的组合物的方法。确定的组合物可调节脂肪调节基因的表达或调节其蛋白质产物的活性。本发明教导了新型线粒体载体蛋白 METP 和脂肪反应性转录因子 FTF1 的核苷酸和氨基酸序列。本节还介绍了一种血浆糖蛋白 A1BG 的核苷酸序列。讲授了人 GPAT 和大鼠 GLOL 的核苷酸和氨基酸序列。讲授人 METP、GLOL、FTF1、SCD、GPAT 和 A1BG 的控制序列。讲授了 SCD1、SCD2、SCD、G6PD、GPAT、FAS、COMT、载脂蛋白 A-1、INSIG1、FTF1、GLOL、A1GB、Spot-14、delta-3、delta-2-烯酰-CoA 异构酶和 METP 的多不饱和脂肪酸调节功能。
