By engineering ZFPs thatrecognize a specific DNA sequence Sangamo has created ZFP transcriptionfactors (ZFP TF(TM)) that can control gene expression and, consequently, cellfunction. Sangamo is also developing sequence-specific ZFP Nucleases(ZFN(TM)) for gene modification. Sangamo has established strategicpartnerships with companies outside of the human therapeutic space includingDow AgroSciences, Sigma-Aldrich and several companies applying its ZFPTechnology to enhance the production of protein pharmaceuticals.
