The invention provides a micromolecular recombinant XVII type collagen as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
protein engineering. The novel recombinant human XVII type collagen is obtained by optimizing and screening a plurality of spiral region sequences such as a collagen structural domain, a C-terminal region and a middle region of the human XVII type collagen. The
amino acid composition of the recombinant XVII type collagen is consistent with that of a natural collagen alpha1 chain, immunological rejection is not generated when the recombinant XVII type collagen is applied to a
human body, the recombinant XVII type collagen can be widely applied to surgical
medical treatment and medical beauty industries, the molecular weight of the collagen is small, efficient
secretion soluble expression in eukaryotic host cells such as
pichia pastoris can be achieved, and the recombinant XVII type collagen has a good application prospect. And industrial large-scale production is carried out. According to the present invention, the
verification results show that the micromolecular recombinant XVII type collagen further has
basement membrane anti-aging activity, wherein the
basement membrane anti-aging activity specifically comprises the improvement of the expression levels of the IV type collagen, the VII type collagen and the XVII type collagen;
