OriGene’s Custom Protein Services: Made in the US

OriGene’s custom protein services offer tailored solutions for every research need, from gene cloning to protein purification.


With over 25 years of experience, OriGene offers comprehensive custom protein services to accelerate your research, whether you’re targeting a novel protein or need a customized solution from our collection of over 19,000 recombinant proteins. As a trusted partner in end-to-end protein development, our capabilities span the full workflow—from gene cloning and protein expression to high-quality protein purification. We specialize in expressing challenging targets and offer flexible expression systems tailored to your specific project needs, supporting both basic research and therapeutic discovery.

Features

  • Success Stories: 2,000+ projects | 500+ satisfied customers
  • Multiplex Expression Systems: Choose from mammalian (HEK293T or CHO) and bacterial (E. coli) expression systems
  • Scalable: Whether the need is small or large, we offer protein services from μg to gm levels
  • Tag Customization: Customize your protein based on your application – Tag-free or add N- or C-fusion tags
  • Site-specific Biotinylation: Modify your protein of interest with site-specific biotinylation using birA.
  • Additional Customization: We offer additional customizations, including mutant protein expression, buffer customization, SEC purification, and more.
  • Transparent pricing: Invoiced only for the successful completion of milestones
  • Made in the USA: Our custom proteins are proudly manufactured here in Rockville, Maryland
