The present invention relates to a peptide comprising a specific amino acid sequence possessing human thymosin &#x3b2;-4 (T&#x3b2;4) activities and its uses. The peptide of this invention has identical or similar functions or actions to human T&#x3b2;4 and its biological activity is almost identical to natural-occurring T&#x3b2;4. In addition, the peptide of this invention exhibits much higher stability and skin permeation than natural-occurring T&#x3b2;4. In these connections, the composition comprising the peptides of this invention can exhibit excellent efficacies on improvement in thymosin &#x3b2;-4-effective disorders or conditions. In addition, the peptide of this invention can be advantageously applied to drugs, cosmetics, toothpaste and compositions for mouth cleaning and caring, most preferably, cosmetics. Specifically, the peptide of this invention is advantageously applied to cosmetics for promoting hair growth.
