Nevertheless, knowledge regarding to its bioactive compounds and genomic information are limited. Thus, we would like to establish an expressed sequence tag (EST) library from Wolfiporia cocos and explore candidates with pharmaceutical potentials in this study. Characterization of Wolfiporia EST library reveal that 16%, 21%, 7% and 3% of genes are participating in metabolism, genetic information process, environmental information process, cellular process, respectively. 53% of those are unknown genes. Furthermore, a gene encodes a protein sharing 50% sequence similarity to Taiwanofungus camphorate fungal immunomodulatory protein (Aca1), and is therefore named as WcFIP1. We hypothesize that the newly isolated WcFIP1 might be one of the fungal immunomodulatory proteins in Wolfiporia cocos.茯苓表現序列標誌基因庫真菌免疫調節蛋白Wolfiporia cocosExpressed sequence tag libraryEST libraryFungal immunomodulatory proteinFIP
