TRANSGENIC BARLEY SH-POLYPEPTIDE-17

Transgenic Barley sh-Polypeptide-17 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 a human gene which codes for Interleukin 1 Alpha. It contains a maximum of 272 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
