  • Mucin-type glycoprotein and use thereof
    Patent number: 7829679
    Abstract: Provided is a novel mucin-type glycoprotein and a method for producing the same. Specifically, a mucin-type glycoprotein having a repeat structure including 3 to 2000 repeating units each having an amino acid sequence represented by the formula I: Val-Xaa-Glu-Thr-Thr-Ala-Ala-Pro [wherein Xaa represents Val or Ile] (SEQ ID NO: 1), wherein one or more amino acid residues in the structure are bound to a sugar chain of one or more monosaccharides. Also provided is a composition containing the novel mucin-type glycoprotein. Further provided is a molecular weight marker containing the novel mucin-type glycoprotein.
