RECOMBINANT PREPARATION OF CALCITONIN FRAGMENTS AND USE THEREOF IN THE PREPARATION OF CALCITONIN AND RELATED ANALOGS
摘要
<p>A process for the recombinant preparation of a calcitonin fragment and the use of the fragment in the preparation of calcitonin and related analogs is provided. The process includes recombinantly forming a fusion protein which includes the calcitonin fragment linked to a carbonic anhydrase. The recombinantly formed fusion protein is subsequently cleaved to produce a polypeptide which includes the calcitonin fragment. A method for producing a calcitonin carba analog which includes condensing a desaminononapeptide with the recombinantly formed calcitonin fragment is also provided.</p>
