The first medicine produced from a genetically modified animal has been recommended for use in Europe by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), June 2006. EMEA has adopted the first positive opinion for a medicinal product derived from transgenic biotechnology. ATryn, from Genzyme Europe, contains antithrombin alfa, a recombinant-DNA human anti-clotting blood protein. Antithrombin alfa is extracted from the milk of goats which have the human antithrombin gene inserted, that enables them to produce the human protein in their milk. |
