heat-shock/chaperone protein. These properties may be a
medicinal benefit, e.g., in wound healing, blood
coagulation and fibrinolysis.
Conclusion
The potential of PIs is quite evident and using PIs for
developing transgenics can give durable resistance
than using
Bt
genes alone. As such, the inhibitors can
probably act not only as self-sufficient protective
proteins, but can also protect other recombinant
proteins from the deleterious effects of proteolytic
enzymes. Apart from this, medicinal properties of
proteinase inhibitors are being explored. Much
importance and awareness are required to implement
the same for health benefits in it’s the most available
forms throughout.
