Prolactin, the major lactogenic hormone, promotes all stages of casein gene expression.Besides prolactin, also growth hormone may directly induce expression of milk protein genes.Computer analysis, mutation experiments and DNA-protein binding experiments enabled identification of mammary-specific transcription factors and cis-regulatoiy sequences in milk proteingene promoters. Also, transgene technology enables recognition of regulatory sequences in milkprotein genes. Moreover, transgenic animals carrying structural genes of human proteins fusedto mammary specific promoters are considered as living “bioreactors” designated to producehuman proteins for pharmaceutical use.}, title={Structure, expression and engineering of miik protein genes}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/147104/PDF/POZN271_182730_biotechnologia-1996-no2-zwierzchowski.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
