Abstract:
The present invention features viable MCH1R deficient mice. MCH1R deficient mice contain an alteration in one or both MCH1R alleles that substantially reduces expression of a functional MCH1R from the altered allele. Preferably, MCH1R deficient mice are MCH1R −/− knockout mice.

Melanin-Concentrating Hormone Receptor Antagonist Binding Protein
Andrew Howard - Park Ridge NJ, US Andreas Sailer - Edison NJ, US Jie Pan - Plainsboro NJ, US Tung Fong - Somerset NJ, US Donald Marsh - Hillsborough NJ, US
The present invention features MCH-1R antagonist binding proteins. MCH-1R antagonist binding proteins described herein are based on an MCH-1R having one or more alterations to the second intracellular loop or carboxy terminus that render the receptor substantially inactive to MCH binding. An MCH-1R antagonist binding protein can bind MCH-1R antagonists, but does not exhibit high affinity MCH binding and is not activated by the MCH.

Abstract:
Peptide analogs of oxyntomodulin (OXM, glucagon-37), which have been modified to be resistant to cleavage and inactivation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and to increase in vivo half-life of the peptide analog while enabling the peptide analog to act as a dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonistm are described. The peptide analogs are useful for treatment of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
