Title:
PROTEASE MIXTURE FOR DECREASING GLUTEN IN FOOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015063554
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide formulations used for treating celiac sprue and/or dermatitis herpetiformis.SOLUTION: There are provided pharmaceutical formulations of glutenase enzymes. The enzymes include prolyl endopeptidases (PEP), e.g. the Myxococcus xanthus PEP; and endoprotease, e.g. Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare EPB2, and biologically active fragments or derivatives thereof. Certain gluten oligopeptides known to be resistant to cleavage by gastric and pancreatic enzymes are digested by such enzymes, thereby preventing or relieving their toxic effects in celiac sprue or dermatitis herpetiformis patients. The formulations are useful especially for the treatment of celiac sprue or dermatitis herpetiformis patients.
