Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to the use of transferrin in controlling insulin levels. Transferrin can disrupt insulin:receptor interactions in mammalian cells, may be used in mammals to treat hypoglycemia, may also be used to inhibit production of insulin by mammalian cells, and can decrease the serum insulin levels in a mammal. The invention further provides methods for identifying compounds which modulate the effect of transferrin on insulin signal transduction. Pharmaceutical compositions containing transferrin are also disclosed.
