Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides FGF1 mutant proteins, which include an N-terminal deletion, point mutation(s), or combinations thereof, as well as FGF1-vagus targeting chimeric proteins which include an FGF1 portion (e.g., native FGF1 or mutant FGF1) and a portion that targets the chimera to the vagus nerve (e.g., GLP or exendin-4). Also provided are nucleic acid molecules that encode such proteins, and vectors and cells that include such nucleic acids. The disclosed FGF1 mutants and FGF1-vagus targeting chimeric proteins can reduce blood glucose in a mammal, and in some examples are used to treat a metabolic disorder.
