EXPRESSION SYSTEM OF HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN-TIMP-2 FUSION PROTEIN AND RECOMBINANT HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN- TIMP-2 PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention provides a human serum albumin-TIMP2 fusion protein having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO. 10, a polynucleotide encoding the same and a vector comprising the polynucleotide, a host cell transformed with the vector, a method for producing the human serum albumin-TIMP2 fusion protein and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the human serum albumin-TIMP2 fusion protein. The human serum albumin-TIMP2 fusion protein is stable and retains the activity of TIMP2, thus it can be used as a pharmaceutical composition to treat diseases related to angiogenesis and/or metastasis of cancer cells.
