Recombinant proteins

The recombinant proteins from Abylabel are obtained in vitro through the recombination of the gene of interest from a target protein with the DNA of a different organism, commonly referred to as a heterologous organism. These types of proteins are very interesting in research, as they allow for the straightforward production of large quantities of specific proteins, as well as the ability to modify them by introducing mutations as needed.

The most commonly used and straightforward organism for obtaining recombinant proteins is the bacterium E. coli. While bacteria are unable to perform post-translational modifications, recombinant proteins are also produced in complex cells, such as those from mammals. This way, it is possible to obtain complex recombinant proteins while maintaining the modifications present in more evolved organisms.
