NOVEL PROTEIN AND DNA ENCODING THE PROTEIN

摘要

An industrially advantageous process for producing a compound capable of inhibiting an HMG-CoA reductase and having an activity of decreasing the serum cholesterol level, which is characterized by using a protein comprising an amino acid sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID NOs:1-3 (provided that, a protein comprising an amino acid sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID NOs:4-6 is excluded) and DNA encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID NOs:1-3 (provided that, DNA encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:4 is excluded).
