A human Cu,Zn‐superoxide dismutase was fused with a transcriptional transactivator protein transduction domain of HIV‐1 to produce a novel anti‐aging ingredient for cosmeceuticals, transcriptional transactivator superoxide dismutase (Tat‐SOD). Stability tests and evaluation of the transduction efficacy and enzymatic activity suggest Tat‐SOD is an effective active ingredient for anti‐aging treatment.
