Abstract

Modified TCF in which one or more amino-acid residues of the wild type TCF responsible for glycosylation are substituted or deleted so that at least one N-linked oligosaccharide chain is removed. The modified TCFs have a longer biological half-lives without loss of their biological activities. The modified TCFs are therapeutically important as agents for liver diseases or as anti-cancer drugs.
