The present invention provides a novel peptide that can be effectively used to produce or to grow hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic precursor cells outside of a living body. The peptide of the present invention is a peptide indicated by general formula (I) or is a modified product thereof, and is characterized by having activity that promotes the differentiation/autonomous growth of hematopoietic stem cells. [In the formula, n is an integer from 3 to 15, x and y are 0 or 1 (provided that when one of x and y is 1, the other of y and x is 0, respectively), m and p are an integer from 1 to 3, and q is 0 or 1 (provided that when y is 1, q is 1).] |
