<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; color: #333333">CARMIEL,&nbsp;Israel,&nbsp;September 21, 2018&nbsp;(GLOBENEWSWIRE)
--&nbsp;Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE American:PLX) (TASE:PLX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development
and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins expressed through its proprietary plant cell-based expression system,
ProCellEx<SUP>&reg;</SUP>, today announced positive preliminary data from the BRIDGE study of pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102) for
the treatment of Fabry disease. Additional data will be released at the 1st Canadian Symposium on Lysosomal Diseases 2018.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; color: #333333">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; color: #333333">The BRIDGE study is an open
label switch over study evaluating the safety and efficacy of PRX-102 in patients with Fabry disease currently treated with agalsidase
alfa for at least 2 years and on a stable dose for at least 6 months. Patients are screened and evaluated over 3 months while continuing
on agalsidase alfa. Following the screening period, each patient was enrolled and switched from agalsidase alfa treatment to receive
intravenous (IV) infusions of PRX-102 1 mg/kg every two weeks for 12 months. Patients can receive PRX-102 infusions at a home care
setup based on the infusion tolerability.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; color: #333333">Preliminary data from the first sixteen patients
enrolled in the trial demonstrated an improvement in kidney function when switched from agalsidase alfa (Replagal<SUP>&reg;</SUP>)
to pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102). Based on available historical serum creatinine and study 3 month screening period values for
approximately 2 years while treated with agalsidase alfa before switching to pegunigalsidase alfa treatment, the annualized estimated
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope for patients on Replagal was (negative) --6.8ml/min/1.73m<SUP>2 </SUP>. The mean eGFR slope
for the same patients following six months of treatment with pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102) was changed to be (positive) of +3.7ml/min/1.73m<SUP>2</SUP>,
these results were statistically significant. Baseline characteristic of these patients were: mean estimated glomerular filtration
rate (eGFR) 75.40 and 86.03 mL/min/1.73m2 for males and females, with annualized eGFR slope of -8.0 and -5.1 mL/min/1.73m2/year,
respectively.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; color: #333333">The BRIDGE study is an open-label, single arm
switch-over study to assess the safety and efficacy of pegunigalsidase alfa, 1 mg/kg infused every two weeks, in 22 Fabry patients
currently treated with Replagal. Protalix anticipates completing patient enrollment in the BRIDGE trial in the fourth quarter of
2018.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; color: #333333">PRX-102 is the Company&rsquo;s plant cell-expressed
recombinant, PEGylated, cross-linked &alpha;-galactosidase-A for Fabry disease. In pre-clinical and clinical studies, PRX-102 demonstrated
higher stability in plasma, a longer half-life and higher exposure in Fabry disease patients, and a reduction in Gb3 in kidney
biopsies in treatment na&iuml;ve Fabry patients.</P>

company focused on the development and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins expressed through its proprietary
plant cell-based expression system, ProCellEx<SUP>&reg;</SUP>.&nbsp; Protalix&rsquo;s unique expression system presents a proprietary
method for developing recombinant proteins in a cost-effective, industrial-scale manner.&nbsp; Protalix&rsquo;s first product manufactured
by ProCellEx, taliglucerase alfa, was approved for marketing by the&nbsp;U.S. Food and Drug Administration&nbsp;(FDA) in&nbsp;May
2012&nbsp;and, subsequently, by the regulatory authorities of other countries.&nbsp; Protalix has licensed to&nbsp;Pfizer Inc.&nbsp;the
worldwide development and commercialization rights for taliglucerase alfa, excluding&nbsp;Brazil, where Protalix retains full rights.&nbsp;
Protalix&rsquo;s development pipeline includes the following product candidates: pegunigalsidase alfa, a modified version of the
recombinant human alpha-GAL-A protein for the treatment of Fabry disease; OPRX-106, an orally-delivered anti-inflammatory treatment;
alidornase alfa for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis; and others.&nbsp; Protalix partnered with Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., both
in&nbsp;the United States&nbsp;and outside&nbsp;the United States, for the development and commercialization of pegunigalsidase
alfa.</P>
