Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to fusion proteins comprising an insulin receptor agonist fused to a human IgG Fc region through the use of a peptide linker, and the use of such fusion proteins in the treatment of diabetes. The fusion protein of the present invention has an extended time action profile and is useful for providing basal glucose control for an extended period of time.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A homodimer of two fusion proteins of having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12. 2. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the homodimer of claim 1 . 3. A method of treating a patient with diabetes mellitus comprising administering to a patient in need thereof the homodimer of claim 1 . 4. A fusion protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12.
