Peptides exhibiting hair growth and / or hair growth promoting activity and their uses

摘要

To provide a peptide showing a hair growth-promoting activity, where the peptide promotes the growth of follicular cells and increases the expression of a hair growth-related growth factor and hair growth-related factors thereby showing an excellent effect on the hair growth, where the peptide can be used for preventing and alleviating hair loss, promoting the hair growth and improving the hair growth.SOLUTION: A peptide showing a hair growth-promoting activity comprises a specific amino acid sequence. The peptide increases the expression of a factor selected from the group consisting of a hair growth-related factor β-catenin and hair growth-related growth factors KGF, bFGF and VEGF.SELECTED DRAWING: None
