Its main purpose is to treat so-called intractable asthma, a type of asthma that cannot be treated with conventional drugs. Intractable asthma is thought to be caused by a decrease in the number of sympathetic nerve receptors and a decline in their signal transmission function to Gs, and as a result, , conventional drugs that stimulate Gs protein cannot induce activation of adenylate cyclase,
It cannot increase the concentration of cAMP, which promotes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. This problem seems to be solvable if Gs can be directly stimulated instead of the sympathetic receptors.

The polypeptide consisting of LKJ has the same primary sequence as the amino acids that make up a part of the sympathetic nerve receptor existing in the body, especially the part that binds to Gs protein. Therefore, this polypeptide inherently has the effect of directly binding and activating the Gs protein, and its activating ability is stronger than any conventionally known drug.

On the other hand, two types of residues contained in the peptide, serine residue S, threonine residue T1, and tyrosine residue Y, are representative amino acids known to be phosphorylated by kinases present in living organisms. In vivo, phosphorylation of receptors by kinases is thought to work in the direction of inhibiting the coupling between receptors and Gs proteins. In other words, by mutating the amino acid residues in the 3rd and 4th positions of the basic constituent sequence to anti-phosphorylation amino acid residues, phosphorylation by kinases can be prevented, and the G protein of the polypeptide can be prevented from being phosphorylated. The activation ability cannot be inactivated by kinases. In addition, this polypeptide has low hydrophobicity and cannot pass through the highly hydrophobic cell membrane, so it cannot enter the cell and cannot be accessed from outside the cell. This includes the problem that it can only stimulate G proteins within cells.
