About
A recombinant human peptide produced in E. coli — used for advanced skin conditioning in biotechnology-driven skincare.
Methionyl sh-Polypeptide-10 is a single-chain synthetic peptide produced by bacterial fermentation, with a methionyl initiation codon fused to the human gene for sh-Polypeptide-10. It functions as a skin conditioning agent targeting specific cellular pathways. No GHS hazards, no EU restrictions. Like other recombinant peptides, it is used at very low concentrations with high purity standards.
