EU·CosIng·ActiveNicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 sh-Polypeptide-86 is a fusion peptide of Hexapeptide-40 with a single chain recombinant human peptide, produced by transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana after the transient expression or stable insertion of a copy of a human gene into its DNA. The starting human gene is synthesized to be identical to the human gene which codes for Follistatin and contains a maximum of 344 amino acids. The fusion peptide contains 294 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
