About R-(METHIONYL SH-POLYPEPTIDE-60 DECAPEPTIDE-40)

A recombinant fusion peptide combining methionyl sh-Polypeptide-60 and Decapeptide-40 for skin conditioning, using standard E. coli expression technology.

Detailed Analysis

R-(Methionyl sh-Polypeptide-60 Decapeptide-40) is a recombinant fusion peptide produced in E. coli, containing 165 amino acids including an N-terminal methionine initiation codon. No EU restrictions are listed in the input, suggesting this ingredient has either passed regulatory review or falls below the threshold requiring specific dossiers. Peptides in this size range are commonly used in cosmetics. The methionine extension is a standard feature in recombinant expression to ensure proper translation initiation. Standard E. coli-derived recombinant peptide safety considerations apply (endotoxin removal, purity testing).
