Production of peptides and proteins by accumulation of protein bodies endoplasmic reticulum-derived plants.

摘要

Production of peptides and proteins accumulation of protein bodies derived from the endoplasmic reticulum in plants.; The invention relates to a method for producing peptides and proteins of interest in plant host systems through their accumulation in protein bodies derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, nucleic acid-based fusion proteins zein encoding such products and the use of said nucleic acids in the manufacture of constructs and vectors for transforming plant host systems. Specifically, a method is described for expressing and isolating heterologous products of interest, such as calcitonin (CT), in plants.
