Human proteins can be produced by cells in the milk-producing mammary glands of transgenic mammals if the regulatory sequence of
a milk gene is used to produce the recombinant gene. Why is it important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk
It is important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk because<em> it is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism.</em>
Explanation:
<em>Regulatory Sequence</em> is<em> a segment of a nucleic acid molecule</em> which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism. Regulation of gene expression is an essential feature of all living organisms and viruses.
