Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Polypeptide-47

Monograph development in progress. Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 sh-Polypeptide-47 is a fusion peptide of Hexapeptide-40 with a single chain recombinant human peptide, produced by Nicotiana benthamiana after transformation with 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 and contains a maximum of 1669 amino acids. The fusion peptide contains 116 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids
