Provided are: all of full-length recombinant proteins which are involved in the coagulation mechanism of Limulus polyphemus ; cDNA molecules encoding the full-length recombinant proteins; and uses of the full-length recombinant proteins. A recombinant protein comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4, a recombinant protein comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 6, 8, 10, or 12, a recombinant protein comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 14, 16, 18, 20, or 22, and variants thereof; cDNA molecules encoding the recombinant proteins and the variants thereof; and uses of the recombinant proteins and the variants thereof. |
