TRANSGENIC TOBACCO RH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-1

Transgenic Tobacco rh-Oligopeptide-1 is a single chain recombinant human peptide, produced by Nicotiana benthamiana (tobacco) after insertion of a copy of a human gene into its DNA. The starting gene is directly isolated from a human cell which codes for Epidermal Growth Factor. It contains a maximum of 53 amino acids, which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. The protein consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
