Expression of proteins encoded by foreign genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is currently used for the production of recombinant DNA-generated proteins derived from a variety of eukaryotic organisms. The applications of a yeast-based technology in the production of proteins for pharmaceutical and industrial purposes is discussed including current methods for introducing recombinant genes into yeast and strategies for maximizing their expression.
