Process for producing the protein of an aequorin activity by using a photoprotein aequorin gene

摘要

An efficient biosynthetic process of a natural type or confluent type photoprotein aequorin is provided, which process comprises using a bacterial body transformed by inserting a substantially isolated gene pAQ 440 specifying the biosynthesis of jelly fish photoprotein aequorin into a promoter-containing plasmid.
