PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide anti-inflammatory peptides and a composition comprising the peptides.SOLUTION: The invention provides a peptide having anti-inflammatory activity, where the peptide comprises either: (a) a specific amino acid sequence selected from a sequence derived from human telomerase; (b) an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence defined in (a); or (c) a fragment of the ammo acid sequence defined in (a) or (b). The invention also provides a composition comprising the peptide.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】抗炎症活性を有するペプチド、及びそれを含む組成物の提供。【解決手段】(a)ヒトテロメラーゼに由来する配列から選択される特定のアミノ酸配列を有するペプチド、又は、(b)(a)において規定されたアミノ酸配列と少なくとも80%の配列同一性を有するアミノ酸配列、又は、(c)(a)もしくは(b)で規定されたアミノ酸配列の断片を含む、抗炎症活性を有するペプチド、並びに当該ペプチドを含む組成物。【選択図】図1
