Abstract
The present disclosure provides an artificially synthesized peptide fragment that can efficiently introduce a foreign substance of interest from outside a eukaryotic cell into at least the cytoplasm of the cell. The present disclosure also provides a method for using the peptide fragment. The herein disclosed peptide fragment is a peptide fragment for introducing a foreign substance of interest from outside a eukaryotic cell into at least the cytoplasm of the cell, and is provided with a repeat sequence in which the VVRSLVK amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) is repeated at least two or more times. By using a construct that has the peptide fragment and the foreign substance of interest bonded to the N-terminal side and/or C-terminal side of the peptide fragment, the foreign substance of interest can be efficiently introduced from outside a eukaryotic cell into at least the cytoplasm of the cell.
