A recombinant protein is a protein encoded by recombinant DNA cloned into an expression vector that supports gene expression and translation of messenger RNA. Modification of genes by recombinant DNA techniques can result in the expression of mutant proteins. Recombinant proteins are engineered forms of natural proteins that are produced in a variety of ways to increase protein production, alter genetic sequences, and produce useful commodities.
Many recombinant proteins require and provide post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, which are only available in eukaryotic, yeast, mammalian and insect cell culture systems. HEK293-derived cell lines are used for transient protein production. Currently, most recombinant therapeutic proteins are produced in mammalian cells due to their ability to produce high quality proteins similar to those in nature. In addition, many approved recombinant therapeutic proteins have been produced in E. coli due to well-characterized genetics, rapid growth, and high-yield production.
Market Dynamics
The company is focused on adopting strategies such as acquisitions and collaborations to gain strong foothold in the global market. For instance, in December, 2021, Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc. acquired PeproTech, Inc., which is a developer and manufacturer of recombinant proteins. This acquisition will help Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc. to strengthen its recombinant proteins portfolio.
The increasing approvals for the biologics license application of recombinant hormones from the regulatory bodies is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2022, Pfizer Inc., a multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology Company, and OPKO Health, Inc., a biotechnology company, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the Biologics License Application (BLA) for somatrogon. Somatrogon is an investigational once-weekly long-acting recombinant human growth hormone for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in pediatric patients.
