Title:
CLONED DNA ENCODING A UDP-GALNAC:POLYPEPTIDE,N-ACETYLGALACTOS AMINYLTRANSFERASE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1994026906
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the isolation and expression of a glycosyltransferase enzyme for use in the synthesis of oligosaccharide or polysaccharide structures on glycoproteins, glycolipids, or as free molecules. The gene coding for the enzyme N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and the polypeptide sequence of the acceptor peptide for the enzyme N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase have been isolated and used for the control of glycosylation of a protein.
