Therapeutic proteins can be produces by finding the gene that encodes the protein of interest and engineering it into a plant genome and placing it under the control of a strong promoter.
However, if the protein of interest id very complex and involves a lot of post translational modifications, an animal system would be well suited for making the protein rather than a plant system.
Not many researchers use a plant system to create therapeutic protein due to low yield and difficulty in purifying the target protein from the plant material

What are therapeutic proteins?
There are many proteins essential to good health that some people cannot produce because of genetic defects. These proteins include various blood-clotting factors causing hemophilia, insulin (resulting in diabetes), growth hormone (resulting in lack of proper growth), and other proteins, the administration of which corrects the pathological conditions or results in other therapeutic benefits. such proteins are termed as therapeutic proteins
What do plants use to produce proteins?
yes plant have protein for livingPlants, animals, bacteria, virus, and all known life forms do have proteins. They are coded in their genetic material (DNA or RNA). Proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What protein comes from plants?
Nonessential proteins get their name from the fact that it is not essential that you eat them in your diet. This is because your body can make these types of proteins. This is compared to essential proteins, which your body cannot produce, which you must get from other sources such as eating.
How animals and plants get protein?
Pretty much any living organism produces proteins since proteins are necessary for life. This includes everything from plants to fungi to microbes to cells. Viruses cannot produce proteins in and of themselves since they need their host's ribosomes to make their protein.
What is cloning to produce embryonic stem cells called?

Can plants be engineered to produce human proteins?
Yes.
To produce trypsins plants must synthesize these proteins from?
Amino acids
How do plants produce and store food?
Plants produce their own food from the sunlight and water , and store in the form of starch, fat and proteins in the storage tissues.
To produce trypsin inhibitors plants must synthesize these proteins from?
Amino acids

Which animals have had human genes inserted into their makeup to produce milk with human proteins?
a firm called GTC Biotherapeutics has spliced human DNA into goats to produce milk that contains therapeutic human proteins, among them a protein called antithrombin that prevents the formation of blood clots.
What is biopharming?
"Biopharming" is an experimental application of biotechnology in which plants are genetically engineered to produce pharmaceutical proteins and chemicals

How do humans use nitrogen?
Humans use nitrogen in the form of proteins. Bacteria found in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants use to produce proteins.
What do plants use nitrogen to do?
Mainly to construct proteins, plants with high protein content are those which require the most.
