[PROBLEMS] To provide a novel protein having excellent catalytic ability for efficiently producing an optically active amino compound, a gene encoding the protein, and use thereof. SOLUTION: The amino acid sequence of a protein capable of converting acetophenone to optically active 1-phenylethylamine in the presence of racemic sec-butylamine, and an amino acid sequence showing 60% or more amino acid identity with the amino acid sequence , A gene encoding the protein, and use thereof. |
