Research Abstract

We have identified AT4/IRAP as a hypertension/diabetes-specific gene through systemic transcriptome analysis followed by RT-PCR. This protein is thought to be involved in the renin-angiotensin system and insulin signal transduction. We have established a measurement system by ELISA. Thereby for the first time we could suggest the possibility that AT4/IRAP might be involved in the pathophysiology of life-style related diseases.
