Yeast Expression Vectors

Yeast expression vectors are used in molecular biology to introduce DNA of interest into yeast cells for protein production and expression. Commonly used yeast expression vectors include Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris. Proteins that require certain modifications such as glycosylation can be successfully produced through yeast expression vectors. When choosing an expression vector, it is important to consider the target species, the promoter, the size of the insert, the selectable marker present and which detection tag is most compatible.
