Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expression vectors are designed to produce high levels of proteins by utilizing efficient promoter regions, which generate multiple transcripts. This capability is particularly beneficial in the pharmaceutical industry for producing large quantities of therapeutic proteins, such as hormones and enzymes, thereby addressing supply limitations.
