Methionyl Rh-Polypeptide-83
Used in cosmetic products as hair conditioning. Methionyl rh-Polypeptide-83 is a single chain fusion peptide, produced by fermentation in E. coli. The starting gene is synthesized by the fusion of the gene from rh-Polypeptide-83 with the initiation code for methionine. The fusion peptide contains 50 amino acids which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation, and consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
