Publication number: 20180009869Abstract: The present invention provides fusion proteins comprising leptin and a second protein. The presence of the second protein provides increased biological activity and/or increased half-life in vivo. The present invention also provides human, canine and feline leptin molecules fused to peptides, antibodies or antibody fragments which enhances the abilities of the leptin molecules to transport through the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). The present invention also provides fusion proteins further comprising a peptide agonist that is capable of binding to and stimulate one, two or all three of the following receptors: GLP-1 receptor, Glucagon receptor, and GIP receptor. Also disclosed is a method of production such fusion proteins through recombinant technologies. The invention further discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising one of the fusion proteins as an active intergradient as well as a method for using such a pharmaceutical composition to treat diseases in dogs, cats and humans.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicant: AskGene Pharma, Inc.Inventors: Yuefeng Lu, Jianfeng Lu, Lan Yang, Lu Li, Kurt SHANEBECK, Lei Liu
