  • Nucleic acid sequence encoding trypsin-like enzyme and process for producing the enzyme
    Patent number: 5804410
    Abstract: This invention provides a nucleic acid sequence encoding a trypsin-like enzyme which can be present at the trachea of human lungs, and can selectively digest a synthetic substrate for trypsin and a synthetic substrate for thrombin, and fibrinogen; and a process for producing the trypsin-like enzyme by genetic engineering utilizing the nucleic acid sequence.
