Assignee:

The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA

International Classification:

C12N 1512

Abstract:

The present invention features a human neurogenin3 (Ngn3) polypeptide and nucleotide sequences encoding Ngn3 polypeptides. In a particular aspect, the polynucleotide is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. In addition, the invention features isolated nucleic acid sequence comprising an Ngn3 promoter, as well as a polynucleotide sequences that hybridize under stringent conditions to SEQ ID NO:1. In related aspects the invention features expression vectors and host cells comprising polynucleotides that encode a human Ngn3 polypeptide. The present invention also relates to antibodies that bind specifically to a human Ngn3 polypeptide, methods for producing human Ngn3 polypeptides, methods for identifying -cell precursor cells expressing Ngn3, methods for using the Ngn3 gene and the Ngn3 polypeptide to alter cellular differentiation in culture or in vivo to produce new -cells to treat patients with diabetes mellitus, and identification of individuals at risk for diabetes by detecting alteration in Ngn3 coding and regulatory sequences and Ngn3 expression levels.

Abstract:

A foldable paperboard table includes two first paperboards each having two first slits on lower edge thereof and two second paperboards each having two second slits on a top edge thereof. The four paperboards are interconnected with each other by engaging the first slits with the second slits to become a base portion. A top having flaps is connected to a top of the base portion and each flap has a side slit so that the flaps are folded to let each side of the first paperboards and the second paperboards engage with the side slits of the flaps to secure the top.

Abstract:

An amino acid composition for collagen formation includes a first chain unit component, a second chain unit component, and a third chain unit component of collagen. The first chain unit component, the second chain unit component, and the third chain unit component are the same or different from each other, and each of the first chain unit component, the second chain unit component, and the third chain unit component is selected from the group consisting of al chain component, α2 chain component, α3 chain component, α4 chain component, α5 chain component, and α6 chain component. The amino acid composition includes Alanine, Phenylalanine, Cysteine, Aspartate, Asparagine, Glutamate, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Lysine, Methionine, Proline, Arginine, Serine, Threonine, Valine, Tryptophan, and Tyrosine and/or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester derivatives thereof.
