Rice Rh-Polypeptide-45
Used in cosmetic products as skin conditioning and skin protecting. Rice rh-Polypeptide-45 is a single chain recombinant human peptide, produced by transgenic rice after the transient expression or stable insertion of a copy of a human gene into its DNA. The starting gene is directly isolated from a human cell which codes for Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor. It contains a maximum of 144 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
