Patent number: 7847063Abstract: The present invention provides a method for highly producing a recombinant protein in a plant storage organ and a GLP-1 derivative. The plant storage organ in which the recombinant protein is highly produced is obtained by transformation with the use of a vector which comprises a recombinant protein gene, a cytokinin-related gene, a drug-resistant gene and a removable DNA element, in which the cytokinin-related gene and the drug-resistant gene exist in the positions so that they can behave together with the DNA element, while the recombinant protein to be expressed in the plant storage organ exists in the position so that it would not behave together with the DNA element. The GLP-1 is produced by using the method, and a derivative having been stabilized against enzymatic digestion is further provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2004Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koichi Sugita, Saori Kasahara, Hiroyasu Ebinuma, Fumio Takaiwa, Takahito Jomori, Yuji Hayashi, Akira Tashita, Yukari Kobara

Patent number: 7291594Abstract: A GLP-1 derivative is provided including an amino acid sequence of GLP-1 (7-35) having deletion, substitution and/or addition of one or more amino acids and having Waa-(Xaa)n-Yaa (in which Waa is Arg or Lys, Xaa is Arg or Lys, n is an integer of 0 to 14, and Yaa is Arg, Arg-NH2, Lys, Lys-NH2 or Hse) added to the C-terminus of the peptide having a GLP-1 activity. These derivatives are highly absorbable via a mucous membrane. The GLP-1 derivative can be conferred with resistance to dipeptidyl peptidase IV by substituting amino acid 8 in its GLP-1 amino acid sequence with Ser, or with resistance to trypsin by substituting amino acids 26 and 34 with Gln and Asn, respectively. The absorption efficiency of the GLP-1 derivatives via mucous membranes can be further improved by preparing a composition using a charge-regulated fat emulsion regulated to be negatively charged thereon.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2003Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuji Hayashi, Mitsuhiro Makino, Toshiyuki Kouzaki, Motohiro Takeda, Takahito Jomori
