[Transgenic goats in the world's pharmaceutical industry in the XXI century].
In many developed countries, isolation of human pharmaceutical proteins from milk of genetically modified animals is currently a priority. One of the first commercial pharmaceuticals obtained from the milk of transgenic goats, an anticoagulant antithrombin III, developed by Genzyme Transgenic Corporation, an American biotechnological company, will appear on the pharmaceutical market in the nearest future. In this review, we discuss the role of fundamental science in the development of this field of the pharmaceutical industry.
