A cosmetic ingredient used as not reported in skincare, haircare, and personal-care products sold in the European Union.
What is it?
r-(sh/s-Mouse Polypeptide-2 sh-Polypeptide-118) is a single chain recombinant fusion peptide, produced by fermentation in a specialized glutathione synthetase knockout Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHOKISV GS-KO). The starting gene is synthesized by the fusion of the genes encoding for sh/s-Mouse Polypeptide-2 and sh-Polypeptide-118. The fusion peptide contains 214 amino acids which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation, and consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
