The present invention provides a human PEC-60-like protein, a gastrointestinal hormone excreted by a stomach tissue and a cDNA encoding this protein. The protein and the gene of the present invention can provide a protein containing the amino acid sequence represented by Sequence No. 1 and a DNA encoding said protein exemplified as a cDNA containing the base sequence represented by Sequence No. 1 as well as a human cDNA encoding a human PEC-60-like protein and said protein by the expression of this human cDNA recombinant.

Human PEC-60-like protein and DNA encoding this protein

The invention provides cDNAs coding for human proteins having transmembrane domains and eucaryotic cells expressing said cDNAs. The cDNAs of the invention can be utilized as probes for the gene diagnosis and gene sources for the gene therapy. Furthermore, the cDNAs can be utilized for large-scale expression of said proteins. Cells, wherein these membrane protein genes are introduced and membrane proteins are expressed in large amounts, can be utilized for detection of the corresponding ligands, screening of novel low-molecular pharmaceuticals, and so on.
