Abstract: Thesis focuses on the production of a variant of the human fibroblast growth factor (FGF21) in plants. This factor is supposed to support the liver function, but has a negative impact on other organs. Hence it has to be directed directly to the liver and should be unstable to avoid its presence in other organs. An oral intake would be preferred. Plants provide an excellent platform for the production of orally applied pharmaceuticals since the cell wall protects the substance from premature degradation in the gastric system.
