Fungi as an Alternative Host for Heterologous Protein Production

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Fungi have emerged as promising platforms for heterologous protein production, offering a combination of high secretion capacity, post-translational modification abilities, and cost-effective growth on diverse substrates. Despite these advantages, challenges such as glycosylation variability and protease activity can impede their full potential. This article delves into the benefits and limitations of fungal systems while highlighting molecular strategies to enhance their efficiency. Case studies on specific fungal strains demonstrate their versatility in producing industrially and therapeutically relevant proteins, underscoring the significance of ongoing innovations in fungal biotechnology.
