Fusion Protein Development Platform

Fusion proteins are proteins composed of at least two structural domains and are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry because of their unique properties. Our company has long-term devoted to the development and application of fusion protein. With years of experience, our scientists have perfected fusion protein development platform to provide comprehensive services and technical support for our global customers' rare disease therapy research and project goals.

Overview of Fusion Proteins

Fusion proteins, also known as fusion tag proteins or chimeric proteins, are proteins produced by connecting two or more genes that originally encoded different proteins. The connection methods of fusion proteins usually include chemical methods and genetic fusion. Fusion protein technology is a purposeful gene fusion and protein expression method to obtain a large number of standard fusion proteins. Using fusion protein technology, new target proteins with multiple functions can be constructed and expressed. Fusion genes can be expressed in prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells.

Applications of Fusion Proteins

DNA Vaccine

DNA vaccines are easy to produce, highly stable and low-cost. The multivalent recombinant antibody fusion protein CYF196, successfully produced through genetic engineering, is a DNA vaccine.

Multi-functional Enzyme

In the case of large enzyme molecules that can be constructed using gene fusion, the specific activity of the fusion protein enzyme is 50%-100% compared to that of a single enzyme.

Targeted Drugs

By fusing drugs and specific ligands together through fusion protein technology, a protein with unique conformation and function can be formed.

Gene Expression

Gene fusion technology can best be used to express foreign proteins in bacteria, which can improve gene expression while reducing protein degradation by host cells.

Our Services

The three most important uses of fusion proteins are: as reporters of expression levels, to assist in the purification of cloned genes, and as histochemical tags to visualize proteins. With mature gene fusion technology and a chemical preparation platform, our company provides one-stop Fc fusion protein development services to support your preclinical research on rare diseases.
