Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are a novel method of screening for insulin secretion-potentiating agents as well as means for performing such screening. The means include a DNA encoding fluorescent-labeled Epac2 comprising two different DNAs encoding two different fluorescent proteins which emit fluorescent light with wavelength differing from each other and a DNA encoding Epac2 which are fused together in-frame, and the cells transformed with the DNA. Also disclosed is a method of screening insulin secretion-potentiating agents comprising bringing a candidate compound into contact with cells transformed with the said DNA, and detecting whether the compound binds to Epac2.
