Invitrogen™ PichiaPink™ Secreted Vector Kit

Description

PichiaPink™ Secreted Vector Kit

The PichiaPink™ Secreted Vector Kit contains the pPINKα-HC vector for use with the PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System. The pPINKα-HC vector is built around the ADE2 gene for complementing the complementing the ade2 deletion in the PichiaPink™ strains. The pPINKα-HC vector has the α-mating factor secretion signal sequence so that all proteins are secreted. You can order the PichiaPink™ Secreted Vector Kit to refill your PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System Kit.

The PichiaPink™ Secreted Vector Kit comes with:

    pPINKα-HC vector (high-copy number) (20μg)

    5’α-factor sequencing primer (20μg)

    3’CYC1 sequencing primer (20μg)

    One Shot™ TOP10™ Electrocomp™ E. coli (Cat. No. C404052)

Why Choose the PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System?
The PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System is based on the yeast Pichia pastoris. Advantages of Pichia pastoris include rapid growth, well-defined genetic background, simple media formulation, and easy handling. For over 30 years, Pichia pastoris has been used by labs around the world for producing hundreds of different proteins from many species including human (Ref 1, 2). The PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System allows convenient and cost-effective protein production from small to large scales.
