Artificial gene coding for authentic human serum albumin, use thereof, and method of producing the same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A structural gene coding for authentic human serum albumin, - optionally supplemented by an upstream triplet coding for methionine and optionally extended by a synthetic prepro X-leader-coding sequence - wherein the codons of the nucleotide sequence have been selected with regard to a non-human host e.g. yeast, chosen for expression of authentic human serum albumin, is disclosed. Additionally there is disclosed a method of producing said gene. There are also disclosed a recombinant DNA molecule comprising said strucural gene inserted into a vector and a host transformed with said recombinant DNA molecule. Furthermore there are disclosed a method of producing authentic human serum …
