Patents Assigned to National Institute of Advanced Science & Technology
  • BETA 1,3-N-ACETYL-D-GALACTOSAMINE TRANSFERASE PROTEIN, NUCLEIC ACID ENCODING THE SAME AND METHOD OF EXAMINING CANCERATION USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20130004995
    Abstract: The N-acetyl-D-galactosamine transferase protein of the present invention is characterized by transferring N-acetyl-D-galactosamine to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine with ?1,3 linkage, and it preferably has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4. The canceration assay according to the present invention uses a nucleic acid for measurement which hybridizes under stringent conditions to the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 or a nucleotide sequence complementary to at least one of them.
