Title:
NOVEL HIGH-FUNCTIONING ENZYME HAVING ALTERED HUMAN β-HEXOSAMINIDASE B SUBSTRATE SPECIFICITY, AND HAVING PROTEASE RESISTANCE APPLIED THERETO
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/061735
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
 Provided is an improved β-subunit of human β-hexosaminidase, having activity derived from a α-subunit of wild-type human β-hexosaminidase, and having resistance to protease. A protein comprising, in the amino acid sequence for a β-subunit of wild-type human β-hexosaminidase, an amino acid sequence in which the 312th-318th amino acids have been substituted, in order, for glycine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, serine, glycine and threonine respectively.
