Anti-inflammatory peptides and composition comprising the same
A peptide with anti-inflammatory activity, wherein the peptide comprises SEQ ID NO: 1, the peptide has above 80% homology of amino acid with above-mentioned sequence, or the peptide is the fragment of the above-mentioned peptides is described. An anti-inflammatory composition comprising the above mentioned peptides is described. According to the present invention, a peptide comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 has outstanding efficacy in both suppressing inflammation and in prophylactic means. Therefore, the composition comprising the peptide of this invention can be used as anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical composition or as cosmetic composition, in turn, treating a variety of different types of inflammatory diseases.
