Abstract:
:Yeast, especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris, are major hosts employed in the expression of authentic heterologous proteins of high quality in the biopharmaceutical, industrial and academic environments. There has been recent progress in characterizing and controlling the factors involved in determining authenticity.
