Human proteins can be produced by cells in the milk-producing mammary glands of transgenic mammals if the regulatory sequence of a milk gene is used to produce the recombinant gene. Why is it important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk

It is important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk because it is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism.

Explanation:

Regulatory Sequence is a segment of a nucleic acid molecule which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism. Regulation of gene expression is an essential feature of all living organisms and viruses.
