| 摘要 |
The present invention provides: a polypeptide, having a pantothenate kinase activity, which is derived from a Corynebacterium microorganism highly capable of producing a pantothenic acid derivative; DNA encoding the polypeptide; a recombinant vector having the DNA introduced therein; and a transformant having the DNA or the recombinant vector introduced therein. The present invention makes it possible to produce pantothenic acid derivatives such as coenzyme A in large quantities by a biological method, thereby making it possible to provide safe and high-quality pantothenic acid derivatives that are demanded in applications such as medicines, functional foods, and the like. |
