The present disclosure is directed to providing a new skin-penetrating peptide, a fusion product with a biologically active substance bound using the same, a cosmetic composition containing the same and a pharmaceutical composition for external application to skin containing the same. The skin-penetrating peptide of the present disclosure is less likely to cause an immune response as compared to existing skin-penetrating peptides and exhibits remarkably improved skin permeability. Therefore, the biologically active substance can be effectively delivered through the skin, particularly through the stratum corneum.

Skin-penetrating peptide and method for using same

The present disclosure is directed to providing: a new cell-penetrating peptide; and a composition for delivering a biologically active substance, a composition for gene therapy, a method for delivering a biologically active substance and a method for gene therapy using the same. The cell-penetrating peptide of the present disclosure can effectively deliver a protein into human cells and tissues, can deliver a protein with higher efficiency in comparison with a TAT peptide that is commercially used as a cell-penetrating peptide, and can also be usefully used in delivering a biologically active substance such as a protein, a genetic material, a chemical compound, etc. which may be used for a therapeutic purpose into cells.
