It is intended to provide a protein complex and a production process
whereby the protein complex can be efficiently produced without lowering
its function. It is also intended to provide use of the protein complex
in a biosensor, an immobilized enzyme and so on. A protein complex
comprising a polyhedral protein having an insect virus encapsulated
therein and a target protein having a restricted region of a capsid
protein VP3 of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus, more specifically, a
region which is either a region from the N-terminus to the 40th amino
acid residue or a region from the 41st amino acid residue to the 79th
amino acid residue as an embedding signal for polyhedron, and a process
for producing the same. The polyhedral protein has an effect on
improvement in the stability of the target protein, protection thereof or
improvement in the preservation properties thereof, or a combination
thereof.
