Endosperm-specific expression of human acid beta-glucosidase in a waxy rice
2012
Background
The deficiency of human acid beta-glucosidase (hGCase) causes Gaucher disease, a rare genetically-inherited disorder currently treated by enzyme replacement therapy using recombinant CHO-derived GCase. In an attempt to provide an alternative and more efficient production system, a chimeric cDNA coding for hGCase operatively linked to the signal peptide of rice glutelin 4 (GluB4) was put under the control of the GluB4 endosperm-specific promoter and inserted into the genome of a waxy rice.
