What is target protein?
Target proteins, as key molecules that perform specific physiological functions in organisms, can accurately match and interact with drugs, antibodies and a variety of bioactive molecules, and their members cover the hub proteins of signal transduction pathways, catalases, cell surface receptors, transporters and other core macromolecules that maintain cell homeostasis. In the grand blueprint of pharmaceutical research and development, target proteins occupy a core position and become the key to unlock the design and development of new drugs. By elaborating the structure and function of these proteins, researchers can design compounds that precisely interfere with their activity, paving the way for the treatment of complex diseases.
In cancer research, for example, proteins that regulate cell proliferation, promote angiogenesis, or avoid apoptosis have become important targets. In the framework of diabetes research, insulin receptor and its related sensitivity regulation proteins have become the focus of exploration. In addition, the scope of target protein research goes beyond the traditional medical field, and actively influences the innovation of biotechnology, the advancement of agricultural science (improving crop quality and stress resistance), and the expansion of industrial applications.
In view of this, the identification, efficient expression, purification and in-depth functional investigation of target proteins constitute the cornerstone of modern biomedical exploration, and have immeasurable value in unlocking the mysteries of life, promoting the discovery of new drugs and promoting the innovation of biological products.

FAQ
1. What types of target proteins can you express?
We can express a wide range of proteins, including membrane proteins, enzymes, antibodies, and cytokines. We work with various expression systems such as bacterial (E. coli), yeast, insect (Sf9), and mammalian cells (HEK293, CHO).
2. How do you ensure high protein yield and purity?
We optimize expression conditions, including induction parameters and media composition. Proteins are purified using affinity chromatography, ion exchange, and gel filtration techniques. Each step is monitored to ensure maximum yield and purity.
3. What is the typical timeline for a project?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the project. Typically, gene cloning and vector construction take 2-3 weeks, expression and purification take another 3-4 weeks, and cell line establishment can take 2-3 months. We provide a detailed project plan with estimated timelines upon project initiation.
4. How do you confirm the identity and functionality of the expressed protein?
We use SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, mass spectrometry, and activity assays to confirm the identity and functionality of the expressed protein. Functional assays are tailored to the specific activity of the target protein.
5. Can you create stable cell lines expressing my target protein?
Yes, we can generate stable cell lines. We use antibiotic selection and single-cell cloning techniques to ensure stable integration and expression of the target gene. We also verify the expression through various analytical methods.
6. What information do you need from me to start the project?
We need the sequence of the target gene, any specific requirements for the expression system or tags, and details about the desired application of the expressed protein. If available, providing structural and functional information about the protein can also be helpful.
