A recombinant protein is described as "a customized or modified protein encoded by recombinant DNA." A plasmid encoding the desired gene in a suitable expression vector is expressed in a particular host expression system to produce a certain amount of the protein for scientific study, therapeutic, or diagnostic purposes.

Considerable applications of recombinant proteins include the following:

Study of biochemical processes,

Vaccination,

A three-dimensional examination of the protein and

Applications in biotechnology and therapeutic practices.

Generating recombinant proteins entails replicating the relevant gene into an expression vector while regulated by an inducible promoter.

However, several variables, including proper protein folding, cell growth traits, and appropriate expression indicators at the transcription and translational levels, are necessary to successfully express the recombinant gene. There are numerous possible uses in biotechnology for recombinant protein display on the bacterial surface; however, this requires a deeper understanding of the targeting motifs typically found on carrier proteins that serve as fusion partners.

Also, picking an expression system requires understanding how much it costs to develop, sustain, and other economic factors.
