[High level expression, purification and characterization of human kallikrein-1 in Pichia pastoris].

Human kallikrein-1 (hK1) gene was cloned from kidney tissues cDNA, it was inserted into the plasmid pPICZalphaA, then the yeast expression vector pPICZalpha-hK1 was constructed. After transformed into Pichia pastoris host X33, high-level expression transformants were screened by escalating the concentration of Zeocin (from 500 to 700 microg/mL) of YPD plate and medium. When temperature was 30 degrees C, pH 6.
