Sericin is widely used in medical treatment
As a natural polymer protein, sericin has 18 kinds of amino acids, including 8 kinds of amino acid components necessary for human body, and the content of glycine, serine, alanine and tyrosine is extremely high, which has high nutritional value and health care Efficacy, and therefore are widely used in many fields.
But what many people do not know is that the pharmacological effects of sericin are also very outstanding, and there are even relevant records in many published research literature.
1. Prevent brain aging
An important reason for brain aging is the decrease in the content of glycine and L-serine. These two amino acids directly affect the growth and development of central neuron cells. When the brain lacks sufficient nutritional factors, symptoms of brain aging and dementia will appear. . The content of glycine and serine in sericin is higher than other protein components. Long-term intake is beneficial to improve people's memory and prevent brain aging.
2. Anticoagulants
Sericin will generate a new type of anticoagulant when it is sulfated. The anticoagulant activity test found that this new type of anticoagulant can completely replace heparin. Although the price is much lower than heparin, its safety and Productivity was not affected.
At present, many medical institutions use this new type of anticoagulant in dialysis and extracorporeal circulation of uremic patients, which provides great help to patients and medical materials that need anticoagulant treatment.

3.?Promote digestion in the gastrointestinal tract
Adding sericin peptide to beverages or foods can accelerate the absorption of minerals, and the detection of serum and excreted urine confirms the promoting effect of sericin peptide on trace elements. In addition, in the inoculation and culture test of sericin and Escherichia coli, it was unexpectedly found that sericin and its hydrolyzate can inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, which is a protein with low digestibility, and has significant effects on treating constipation and anti-tumor. Long-term use It is more helpful to improve the physiological function of the intestinal tract.
4.Antifreeze protection
The small molecular sequence sericin peptide is hidden in sericin protein. Through gene amplification and fusion technology, sericin was placed in E. coli cells for a tolerance test at -20°C. It was found that the antifreeze protection effect of sericin peptide was closely related to Currently known antifreeze proteins are equally effective. Even further freeze-thaw experiments in liquid nitrogen have proved that sericin peptide has high antifreeze activity, which will provide new application value for the medical field in the future.
At present, the most widely used fields of sericin are the fields of cosmetics, food and beverage, and fiber fabrics, but more and more scientific research shows that sericin has the ability to be used as a medical dressing and will even become unavoidable in the future. lack of biological material. This is not only because sericin has good pharmacological effects, but also because sericin does not cause allergic reactions and can also play an anti-inflammatory effect on wounds.
Facing the promising medical market, why don't you seize this opportunity? Act quickly, we look forward to cooperating with you!
