摘要:
Use of an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having a sequence identity of at least 80%, with the amino acid sequence represented by Gly Asn Ser Asp Asp Phe Leu Ser Gln Gln Pro Glu Arg Pro Arg AspVal Lys Leu Ala Arg (SEQ ID NO: 2), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for preparing a medicament for the treatment of a mammal to increase the body fat mass of said mammal, or to prevent or reduce the loss of body fat mass of said mammal. The polypeptide may comprise an amino acid sequence having a sequence identity of at least 80% with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, and may be the polypeptide the monomeric proenzyme of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 (TRAP). A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide. The polypeptide is useful for increasing the body fat mass of a mammal.
