Abstract excerpt
Human ciliary neurotrophic factor (hCNTF) and its derivatives are promising therapeutics for obesity associated with diabetes. To reduce its side effects and increase its efficacy, superagonist mutein of human CNTF was constructed by the introduction of S165D/Q166H mutation into AX15(R13K), which is a mutein of naturally occurring hCNTF, with improved biological activity, stability, solubility and KEX2...
