The present invention provides a method for highly producing a recombinant
protein in a plant storage organ and a GLP-1 derivative. The plant
storage organ in which the recombinant protein is highly produced is
obtained by transformation with the use of a vector which comprises a
recombinant protein gene, a cytokinin-related gene, a drug-resistant gene
and a removable DNA element, in which the cytokinin-related gene and the
drug-resistant gene exist in the positions so that they can behave
together with the DNA element, while the recombinant protein to be
expressed in the plant storage organ exists in the position so that it
would not behave together with the DNA element. The GLP-1 is produced by
using the method, and a derivative having been stabilized against
enzymatic digestion is further provided.
