Provided are: an anti-tumor peptide; and an anti-tumor composition for suppressing the growth of at least one type of tumor cell and having said peptide as a component thereof. This anti-tumor composition is provided with at least one type of pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and an anti-tumor peptide capable of inducing the occurrence of multipolar spindles in at least one type of tumor cell, wherein the anti-tumor peptide contained in the composition is a synthetic peptide having an amino acid sequence selected from among sequence ID numbers 1-22, or an amino acid sequence formed by substituting, deleting and/or adding one, two or three amino acid residues in/from/to said amino acid sequence. |
