COMPOSITION CONTAINING EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR-DERIVED PEPTIDE FRAGMENTS FOR WOUND HEALING OR INHIBITING SKIN WRINKLE FORMATION

摘要

Provided is a composition containing peptide fragments or small peptides derived from epidermal growth factor (EGF) for wound healing and inhibiting aging of the skin or formation of skin wrinkles. The peptides activate EGF receptors and have activities promoting keratinocyte proliferation and angiogenesis in the skin. Accordingly, the peptides can be utilized effectively in wound healing and inhibiting aging of the skin or formation of skin wrinkles.
