Description: Silkworm r-Sleeping Chironomid Polypeptide-1/r-Sleeping Chironomid Polypeptide-2 is a single chain recombinant peptide, produced by silkworm after transformation with either a transient expression system or transgenesis (stable insertion of a copy of a sleeping chironomid gene into its DNA), and consists of r-Sleeping Chironomid Polypeptide-1 and r-Sleeping Chironomid Polypeptide-2. It contains a maximum of 323 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids. Silkworm is producing both at the same time so that is why there is a slash.
All Functions: Humectant, skin conditioning
