Patent number: 9631185Abstract: Fusion-proteins containing an enzyme, preferably a feed or food enzyme, coupled to a gut surface-binding domain are presented. The fusion-proteins can be used to promote feed utilization in animals. In a particular example, a Fusion enzyme according to the invention comprising a gut-surface-binding polypeptide segment linked to a phytase show an increased resident time in the gut, which leads to an increased amount of time given to the enzyme to catalyse the corresponding reaction which finally leads to improved feed utilisation.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: NOVOZYMES A/SInventors: Ghislain Schyns, Stephane Duval, Aurelie Brelin
