    摘要: The invention relates to a method for screening compounds, which inhibit MetAP2 activity, by providing a cellular system or a sample thereof being capable of expressing MetAP2 and/or EEF1A, incubating at least a portion of the system with compounds to be screened, and detecting MetAP2 inhibition by determining EEF1A with N-terminal methionine residue (MetEEF1A). Another object of the invention concerns a method for monitoring physiological and/or pathological conditions, which are caused, mediated and/or propagated by MetAP2 activity, by administering an effective amount of at least a single compound to a mammal in need of such treatment and determining MetEEF1A in a biological sample withdrawn from the mammal. The invention also relates to the use of EEF1A as biomarker.
