Common Name(s): S-mussel oligopeptide-1,s-mussel oligopeptide-1,synthetic biology peptide,engineered signal peptide
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides receptor-specific signal peptide activity through the bio-identical sequence enabling precise gene-level modulation of collagen synthesis, mmp inhibition, or barrier repair.
Why It's Used: S-mussel oligopeptide-1 delivers precision receptor pharmacology from its engineered sequence — the sh/sr designation confirming synthetic or recombinant manufacture for maximum purity and batch reproducibility.
How It Works: Synthetic peptide: spps or recombinant expression → sequence-specific receptor binding → intracellular signalling → target gene expression modulation.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging,precision skin care
