The present invention relates to a novel mucin-type glycoprotein and to a method for producing the same. Specifically, the present invention provides a mucin-type glycoprotein having a repeat structure which comprises 3 to 2000 repeating units each having an amino acid sequence represented by the formula I: Val-Xaa-Glu-Thr-Thr-Ala-Ala-Pro [wherein Xaa represents Val or Ile], wherein one or more amino acid residues in the structure are bound to a sugar chain consisting of one or more monosaccharides. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising the novel mucin-type glycoprotein. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a molecular weight marker comprising the novel mucin-type glycoprotein. |
