Transkaryotic Therapies is an innovative biotech company whose niche technology is the production of commercial quantities of endogenous human proteins such as Epo by inserting constitutively active promoter regions upstream to the target gene in human cell lines. This method avoids the use of transgenes and non human cell lines which do not glycosylate proteins in precisely the native pattern. Many companies producing recombinant human proteins are threatened by TKTX's technology worried that their patents will not cover this novel method of protein production.
