ERA Plantech is a biotechnological company which arose from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish Council for Scientific Research) and is devoted to the production of peptides and proteins of therapeutical or industrial interest in transgenic plants. The company uses original and exclusive technology (ZERA) (Zein Endoplasmic Reticulum Accumulation), which allows the production of recombinant proteins through their deposition on protein bodies of plant cells.

This technology has been successfully applied to produce calcitonin in tobacco plants. At present, ERA Plantech aims to validate and optimise ZERA technology to ensure its viability and competitiveness to produce a wide range of peptides and proteins.
