TRANSGENIC BARLEY SH-POLYPEPTIDE-8

Transgenic Barley sh-Polypeptide-8 is a single chain recombinant human peptide, produced by barley after 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 Platelet Derived Growth Factor. It contains a maximum of 241 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper 20 sequence of the standard amino acids.
