The object of the present invention is to provide an oligopeptide having hair growth promoting activity. The present invention provides an oligopeptide which is represented by the formula (I): X1-X2-X3-X4-X5-X6-X7,or the like wherein X1 represents an amino acid residue such as Ser, X2 represents an amino acid residue such as Ile, X3 represents an amino acid residue such as Glu, X4 represents an amino acid residue such as Gln, X5 represents an amino acid residue such as Ser, X6 represents the amino acid residue Cys to which a modifying group containing a carbonyl group binds, or the amino acid residue Lys to which a modifying group containing a carbonyl group binds, and X7 represents an amino acid residue such as Glu or Ala. |
