Silkworm Sh-Polypeptide-69
Used in cosmetic products as humectant and skin conditioning. Silkworm sh-Polypeptide-69 is a single chain recombinant human peptide, produced by silkworm after after using either a transient expression system or transgenesis (stable insertion of a copy of a human gene into its DNA). The starting gene is synthesized to be identical to the human gene which codes for Collagen Alpha-1 (III) Chain. It contains a maximum of 1466 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
