In modern biological sciences it is a major advantage to be able to produce a specific protein on demand. The extent of this notion can be understood when one considers how important proteins are and how problematic it can be to produce enough of a required protein from its natural source. Recombinant protein production is a fundamental aspect of the 21 century biotech industry. Harnessing st the natural protein expression powers of, prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic, hosts enabled the development of a multi-billion dollar industries with high strategic impacts extending from therapy to environment manipulation. This review presents a brief account of the vital importance of the recombinant proteins and their main production systems.
