Protalix is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins. Protalix utilizes its proprietary plant cell technology
  ProCellExTM  for the expression of recombinant proteins and is currently developing several biotherapeutic products.Protalix’s  lead product candidate is UPLYSO, an Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) product  for the treatment of Gaucher Disease. A successful Phase III study, in which UPLYSO met all primary and secondary treatment endpoints, was recently completed, allowing for the submission of  a New Drug Application (NDA) for UPLYSO to the FDA . In addition, Protalix entered a collaboration and licensing agreement for this product with Pfizer.

Protalix’s innovative product pipeline includes multiple  proprietary therapeutic protein candidates, several of which are about to initiate clinical studies or are under preclinical studies. Amongst these are other lysosomal disorder related enzymes, acetylcholinesterase, anti TNF fusion protein as well as several other compounds.

Technology

ProCellEx™ is Protalix’s proprietary production system that was developed based on our plant cell culture technology for the development and manufacturing of recombinant proteins. The Protalix expression system consists of a comprehensive set of capabilities and proprietary technologies, including advanced genetic engineering and plant cell culture technology, which enables the production of complex, proprietary and biologically equivalent proteins for the treatment of a variety of human diseases. Proof of concept for the technology has been shown for several protein types including enzymes, hormones, fusion protein antibodies and vaccines. Protalix is seeking collaboration in these fields.
