Start the sentence writing the number per extenso = ?

Context:
Discussion: rephrase the following sentence: 60 kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) is a molecular chaperone and involved in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Start the sentence writing the number per extenso.

Actually it should be "in extenso" - Latin for "at full length". "Per extenso" is an error, I believe.

So in particular, it just means that 60 kDa should be rewritten as sixty kDa?

"The sixty kilodalton heat shock protein" would be even more in extenso, but I am not a molecular biologist. I wonder whether it is the 60 or kDA which needs extending, or both.
