Protein expression refers to a biotechnological process of generating specific protein, typically attained by manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a recombinant gene. The development of genetic engineering and recombinant technologies has opened many possibilities of expression and isolation of heterologous proteins for research, clinical, and industrial purposes. Considerable advances in biotechnology have enabled expression and isolation of recombinant proteins in large scale. One of the major achievements is the development of recombinant proteins capable of entering a cell. Such developments lead to completely new opportunities in therapeutic medicine by targeting intracellular mechanisms or by substituting intracellularly operating enzymes though therapeutic protein. The first expression platform established was prokaryotic system through Escherichia coli. This was followed by development of other expression systems including yeast, algae, insect, and mammalian.
Protein expression finds major application in research, industrial and therapeutics and others. The therapeutic proteins such as peptide hormones, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic enzymes, antibodies, blood factors and cytokines are widely used to treat various chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. These proteins have elevated quality, accuracy and efficiency in biologics production.
The factors that boost the growth of the protein expression market include rise in geriatric population, age-related diseases and increase in prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer. Moreover, increase in spending on protein research also fuel the growth of the protein expression market. However, high monetary inputs associated with the production of protein products restrict the growth of the market. In addition, significant shortage of trained healthcare professionals and lack of local expertise also restrains the market.
Improvements in innovations such as mass spectrometry, advancements in molecular genetics and advancement in manufacturing techniques are all key drivers on the protein therapy market. Furthermore, rapid developments in medical technology, better disease detection, and healthcare growth in emerging markets should have positive market impact.
