Yeast System Protein Expression and Purification
The yeast expression system is the most cost-effective eukaryotic system for producing secreted and intracellular proteins. It combines the advantages of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems:
✓ High expression levels ✓ Low cost ✓ Easy scalability ✓ Proper protein folding
This makes it an ideal choice for applications ranging from small-scale experiments to industrial production.
GeneRulor offers gene expression services based on yeast expression systems, delivering high-quality protein products that meet client expectations with industry-leading cost-effectiveness, exceptional quality, and professional, efficient technical support.
1、Protein Types Particularly Suitable for the Yeast Expression System
Secreted proteins requiring simple post-translational modifications: industrial enzymes, human serum albumin, antigenic proteins
Eukaryotic proteins requiring disulfide bond formation: cytokines, growth factors, single-chain antibody fragments
Intracellular soluble proteins: kinases, transcription factors
Membrane proteins: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), transporter proteins, ion channel proteins
Toxic proteins
