MAMMALIAN TYPE GLYCOSYLATION REACTION IN PLANT BY EXPRESSION OF GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE OF NON-MAMMALIAN ANIMAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide &bgr;-1,4-galactosyltransferase of non-mammalian animal usable in a wild type or modified form.SOLUTION: There are provided a transformed plant and a plant cell expressing &bgr;-1,4-galactosyltransferase of non-mammalian animal, further provided is a method for producing modified glycoprotein, preferably mammalian glycosylated glycoprotein. In addition, there are provided a nucleic acid molecule of &bgr;-1,4-galactosyltransferase of a non-mammalian animal and an expression vector for it.
