Octa-histidine tagged hPGHS-2 was expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris.
Compared to constitutive expression, methanol-induced expression yielded more hPGHS-2.
Bovine carboxypeptidase A was used to elute hPGHS-2 from the Ni-affinity resin.
3 mg of pure de-tagged hPGHS-2 was obtained from 1 l of P. pastoris culture.
