Abstract:Over the past 20 years, the biotechnology industry has been extraordinarily successful in bringing a wide variety of new products to the market, including recombinant versions of natural proteins such as growth hormone, insulin and the gonadotropins. The availability of the human genome sequence has given us the chance to identify the entire catalogue of human secreted proteins, often called the secretome. One of the challenges of biotechnology research has been to identify the biological activities of these p… Show more
