Abstract excerpt
The pro-peptide sequence of human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) is essential for the efficient translocation of the nascent polypeptide and the precise cleavage at residue +1 from the cleavage site. If residue +1 is not a serine, the bioactivity of hPTH decreases dramatically. In order to express the functional hPTH properly in a gene therapy model, we constructed three sets of eukaryotic expression vectors: one...
