Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9941411A2] The present invention relates to a method of detecting a disorder in carbohydrate metabolism, such as type II diabetes (NIDDM), by detecting a promoter of an adenylate cyclase III gene, the promoter having enhanced activity. The present invention also relates to a promoter from an adenylate cyclase III gene having enhanced activity, and isolated DNA molecules containing this promoter. The promoter having enhanced activity can be part of a transgenic animal. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a method of treating a patient having a disorder in carbohydrate metabolism, such as type II diabetes (NIDDM), and a method of enhancing or restoring a patient's response to insulin. Each of these methods includes administering to the patient a down regulator, an antagonist, or an inhibitor of expression of the adenylate cyclase III gene, or of the activity of one of its gene products.
