HumanKine® recombinant proteins are created in HEK293 cells using animal-free components. Recombinant proteins created in HEK293 offer the following advantages when compared with proteins manufactured using bacterial based platforms: 

  • High bioactivity & stability

  • Lot-to-lot consistency 

  • Native human conformation & post-translational modifications

  • Endotoxin-free, xeno-free & tag-free


All HumanKine® recombinant proteins are produced in Proteintech’s in-house GMP grade laboratory adhering to strict quality control regulationsFind out more here
