Abstract
This invention provides an amadoriase having high reactivity with α-fructosyl hexapeptide (αF6P) derived from the β-chain amino terminus of glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc), which enables satisfactory quantification of αF6P cleaved from HbAlc. A novel amadoriase is derived from the amadoriase of the genusby substitution of one or more amino acids at positions selected from the group consisting of positions 62, 63, 102, 106, 110, 113, 355, and 419. Such amadoriase enables rapid, simple, accurate, and satisfactory quantification of αF6P cleaved from HbAlc. With the use of such amadoriase, a method for measurement of HbAlc by an enzymatic method and a kit for measurement of HbAlc that are based on the same principle as used in the conventional standard method and excellent in terms of the relevance with the standard method.
