NEW LIPASE INDUCED BY FASTING

摘要

PURPOSE: A novel lipase induced by fasting and a gene encoding the same are provided to develop a therapeutic agent for obesity and to be used in foods, detergents, fine chemicals, and cosmetics. CONSTITUTION: A novel lipase induced by fasting contains an amino acid sequence of sequence number 2. A lipase gene encoding the lipase has a base sequence of sequence number 4. A recombinant vector contains the lipase gene. The lipase gene is fil-1 and fil-2 genes. The novel lipase is prepared by introducing fil-1 and fil-2 genes to wild type C. elegans and transforming an insect.
