Membrane proteins, proteins that interact with biological membranes, accounts for nearly half of know drug targets. It is estimated that almost 20-30% of all genes in most genomes encode membrane proteins. Membrane proteins as receptors and ion channels are vital regulators of cellular function and all of them are of great pharmaceutical importance.
The statistics of a recent survey may illustrate this well. The survey was meant to figure out the proportion of the classes of drug target in current drug therapies. And the results are as follows: receptors accounts for nearly half of the human drug targets and acting as therapeutic targets for a wide of disease conditions like: cancer and cardiovascular; following are enzymes which cover almost 30%; the third place was taken by hormones & factors; and ion channels take 5% of it. That is to say membrane protein account over 50% of the human drug target. So the importance of it is obvious.
However, good things are always hard to get. So does membrane proteins. It is said that they are notoriously difficult to prepare in a pure, correctly-folded form in sufficient quantity for drug discovery.
Since its foundation, Creative Biomart has been working with pharmaceutical, biotech, clinical and academic customers and researcher, providing them with excellent membrane protein-related products and services that help promote the customers’ research. Now, they have customer membrane protein production, cell line development ad membrane preparation and lipid-based protein immoblizition services for their customers to choose.
