What is the BGH gene for in a expression vector? - What is the BGH gene for in a expression vector? Thanks a lot! (Aug/16/2010 )

Hi,

Could anyone tell me what's the BGH gene for in a expression vector, please?

Many thanks!

Are you sure it is the full BGH, not just a primer binding site or a polyadenylation signal?

many thanks for your reply! It's about 230 bp long and seems like poly A signal to me.

It is there as a poly A tail generator for the mRNA made off the plasmid, this helps with message processing in protein production.
