Abstract excerpt
PEGylation modification has been used to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of protein-based drugs. For example, PEGylated human growth hormone (hGH) has been shown to exhibit better pharmacokinetic profiles than the unmodified hGH. Unlike chemical PEGylation of hGH that is difficult to be controlled to result in homogeneity, microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) only conjugates poly(ethelene glycol) (PEG) on...
