Cripto-1 Expression System (K1908001)

This part is a semi-composite part that was synthesized by IDT which holds a Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kozak sequence, a coding sequence for the Homo sapien membrane protein Cripto-1, and an ADH1 Terminator region. The coding sequence was codon-optimized for expression in yeast using the proprietary codon optimization program on the Integrated DNA Technologies website. Our design was intended to induce a strong expression of Cripto-1 in yeast to test for membrane localization. We hope that our contribution of a eukaryotic receptor protein to the iGEM Registry is found to be useful and beneficial.
