It is an object of the present invention to provide a protein having high cellular adhesiveness that is useful as a cell adhesion support. The present invention provides a cell-adhesive protein comprising methionine, wherein at least a portion of the methionine residues is oxidized.

Cell-adhesive protein

It is an object of the present invention to provide a targeting agent, which enables the delivery of a drug to tumor sites or the imaging of tumor sites by utilizing its effect of accumulating to such tumor sites. The present invention provides a targeting agent for tumor site, which comprises a hydrophilic polymer-modified carrier coated with a gelatin-like protein that has repeats of a sequence represented by Gly-X-Y characteristic to collagen and has two or more sequences of cell adhesion signals in a single molecule wherein X and Y each independently represent an amino acid and a plurality of Gly-X-Y sequences may be the same or different.

Targeting agent for tumor site

It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for hair which comprises highly safe nanoparticles having high transparency due to the small particle size and high permeability into hair and scalp. The present invention provides a composition for hair which comprises protein nanoparticles containing an active ingredient for hair.
