The present invention relates to a process for producing a transglutaminase, which comprises incubating Escherichia coli expressing genes encoding a heat shock protein (DnaJ) and a transglutaminase. The transglutaminase is produced in large quantities, at low cost and has the appropriate stereostructure to render the transglutaminase biologically active. The transglutaminase so produced is useful in the food industry. |
