Nicotiana Benthamiana Octapeptide-30 sh-Oligopeptide-2

Nicotiana Benthamiana Octapeptide-30 sh-Oligopeptide-2 is a fusion peptide of Octapeptide-30 (q.v.) 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 Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and contains a maximum of 195 amino acids. The fusion peptide contains 68 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
