Provided is a therapeutic agent that effectively acts on a disease associated with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan. Also provided is a testing method for diseases associated with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan. Specifically, provided is a therapeutic agent for diseases associated with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan, containing CDP-ribitol as an active ingredient. Ribitol-phosphate is important in the glycan structure of dystroglycan. In order for ribitol-phosphate to be incorporated into a dystroglycan glycan, a material therefor (sugar donor) is required. In the present invention, it has been found for the first time that CDP-ribitol serves as the sugar donor. It has been confirmed that the glycan of ISPD-deficient cells can be restored by administering CDP-ribitol. Thus, the present invention, which allows CDP-ribitol to be utilized for supplementation therapy, has been completed.
本发明提供了一种治疗剂,可有效治疗与肌张力
蛋白糖基化异常相关的疾病。还提供了一种与肌张力
蛋白糖基化异常相关疾病的检测方法。具体而言,本发明提供了一种治疗与肌张力
蛋白糖基化异常相关疾病的药物,其有效成分为 CDP-
核糖醇。
核糖醇-
磷酸在肌张力蛋白的聚糖结构中非常重要。为了将
核糖醇-
磷酸结合到肌张力蛋白聚糖中,需要一种材料(糖供体)。在本发明中,首次发现 CDP
核糖醇可作为糖供体。经证实,通过施用 CDP-ribitol 可以恢复 I
SPD 缺陷细胞的聚糖。因此,本发明已经完成,可以利用 CDP-ribitol 进行补充治疗。
