STABILIZED TRANSGLUTAMINASE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is transglutaminase having excellent stability. Also disclosed is a process for producing the transglutaminase. Specifically disclosed is stabilized transglutaminase, which has such a structure that a pro-sequence peptide of transglutaminase is bound to matured transglutaminase. Also specifically disclosed is a process for producing stabilized transglutaminase, which comprises the steps of: culturing a microorganism capable of producing transglutaminase under the conditions where transglutaminase can be produced; and separating and collecting matured transglutaminase having a pro-sequence peptide bound thereto from a culture medium.
