Abstract: Human proIslet Peptides (HIP) and HIP analogs and derivatives thereof, derived from or homologous in sequence to the human REG3A protein, chromosome 2p12, are able to induce islet neogenesis from endogenous pancreatic progenitor cells. Human proIslet Peptides are used either alone or in combination with other pharmaceuticals in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and other pathologies related to aberrant glucose, carbohydrate, and/or lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, overweight, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome, eating disorders and the metabolic syndrome.
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and kits for treating diseases and conditions associated with impaired pancreatic function. The present invention further provides methods of stimulating islet cell neogenesis and stimulating islet cell differentiation from progenitor cells.

Abstract: Methods for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus or a condition resulting from the loss of pancreatic islet cells in a patient are disclosed herewith. The method of treatment comprises co-administration of human proislet peptides (HIP); and an agent that inhibits the activity of autoimmune cells.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to proislet peptides, preferably HIP, that exhibit increased stability and efficacy, and methods of using the same to treating a pathology associated with impaired pancreatic function, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes and symptoms thereof.
Abstract: Methods and compositions related to the use of Human proIslet Peptide Receptor (HIP) are disclosed herein. Compositions include peptides and peptidomimetics capable of binding the HIP receptors. Methods include screening assays for ligands of receptors and proteins involved in islet cell signaling.
