Abstract
A novel protein having a heat-resistant malate dehydrogenase activity, a DNA fragment having a gene encoding said protein, a recombinant vector having said DNA fragment, a transformant transformed with said vector, a method for producing the protein having heat-resistant malate dehydrogenase activity by the use of said transformant, a reagent for GOT determination, comprising the above-mentioned novel protein having a heat-resistant malate dehydrogenase activity and a method for determining GOT activity, which comprises the use of said reagent. According to the present invention, a protein having a heat-resistant malate dehydrogenase activity and having higher purity and superior heat stability can be obtained. In addition, a reagent for GOT determination which is superior in long-term storage can be prepared by the use of the protein having a heat-resistant malate dehydrogenase activity.
