Abstract
A process for the recombinant production of proteins in yeast comprises transforming the yeast with an expression cassette which comprises the following structural elements encoded: L-A-P-GEN where L is a leader sequence of an animal peptide neurohormone, A is an adaptor producing an alpha-helix structure, P is a processing signal and GEN is a structural gene for the required protein.
