Publication number: 20180265592Abstract: Antagonists of human proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (“PCSK9”) are disclosed. The disclosed antagonists are effective in the inhibition of PCSK9 function and, accordingly, present desirable antagonists for the use in the treatment of conditions associated with PCSK9 activity. The present invention also discloses nucleic acid encoding said antagonists, vectors, host cells, and compositions comprising the antagonists. Methods of making PCSK9-specific antagonists as well as methods of using the antagonists for inhibiting or antagonizing PCSK9 function are also disclosed and form important additional aspects of the present disclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2018Publication date: September 20, 2018Applicant: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.Inventors: Ayesha Sitlani, Carl P. Sparrow, Shilpa Pandit, Jon H. Condra, Holly A. Hammond

Patent number: 7244577Abstract: A novel receptor, “LDL-receptor-related protein-5” (“LRP-5”), is provided, along with encoding nucleic acid. The gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), and experimental evidence provides indication that it is the IDDM susceptibility gene IDDM4. In various aspects the invention provides nucleic acid, including coding sequences, oligonucleotide primers and probes, polypeptides, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of diagnosis or prognosis, and other methods relating to and based on the gene, including methods of treatment of diseases in which the gene may be implicated, including autoimmune diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diseases and disorders involving disruption of endocytosis and/or antigen presentation, diseases and disorders involving cytokine clearance and/or inflammation, viral infection, elevation of free fatty acids or hypercholesterolemia, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2002Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Merck & Co., Inc.Inventors: John A. Todd, John W. Hess, Charles T. Caskey, Roger D Cox, David Gerhold, Holly Hammond, Patricia Hey, Yoshihiko Kawaguchi, Tony R. Merriman, Michael L. Metzker, Yusuke Nakagawa, Michael S.
