Human PPP1R5 polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such PPP1R5 and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such PPP1R5, or compounds which inhibit or stimulate PPP1R5 for dysfunctions or diseases which involve resistance to the action of insulin on glycogen synthesis are also disclosed. Agonist and antagonists of these PPP1R5 proteins and methods of their use are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to mutations in the nucleic acid sequences and altered concentrations of the polypeptides. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting mutations in the polynucleotides encoding the PPP1R5 and for detecting altered levels of the polypeptide in a host.

Protein phosphatase 1 binding protein, R5

The present invention relates to a mutant DNA sequence encoding protein phosphatase 1 G-subunit, wherein a mutation of G to T occurs in the position of codon 905 of the coding sequence, a method of detecting a mutation in the gene encoding protein phosphatase 1 G-subunit, as well as a diagnostic composition and a test kit for use in the method.
