Claims22
A method for treating congenital hyperinsulinism comprising administering to a subject in need thereof, an isolated conjugate comprising a peptide moiety and a biocompatible material moiety which is linked to the peptide moiety, wherein the peptide moiety comprises the amino acid sequence of the following General Formula 2:
- (SEQ ID NO:
- 46)
- Y-Aib-QGTF-X7-SD-X10-S-X12-Y-L-X15-X16-X17-R-A-
- X20-X21-F-V-X24-W-L-M-N-T-X30 General Formula 2
- wherein
- X7 is threonine (T), valine (V), or cysteine (C);
- X10 is tyrosine (Y) or cysteine (C);
- X12 is lysine (K) or cysteine (C);
- X15 is aspartic acid (D) or cysteine (C);
- X16 is glutamic acid (E) or serine (S);
- X17 is lysine (K) or arginine (R);
- X20 is glutamine (Q) or lysine (K);
- X21 is aspartic acid (D) or glutamic acid (E);
- X24 is valine (V) or glutamine (Q);
- and
- X30 is cysteine (C) or is absent,
- with the proviso that the amino acid sequence of General Formula 2 identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 12 is excluded.
A method for treating congenital hyperinsulinism comprising administering to a subject in need thereof, an isolated conjugate comprising a peptide moiety and a biocompatible material moiety which is linked to the peptide moiety, wherein the peptide moiety comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:
- 2 to 11, 13 to 15, and 18 to 44.
