<p>The present invention relates to a peptide capable of specifically targeting apoptotic cells undergoing apoptosis and a use thereof. More particularly, it relates to a peptide having an amino acid sequence represented by anyone selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO: 12 and targeting apoptotic cells, a composition for detection of apoptotic cells comprising the same as an effective ingredient, a composition for drug delivery comprising the same as an effective ingredient, a composition for imaging comprising the same as an effective ingredient and the like. The peptide of the present invention effectively detects apoptosis which is involved in tissues of neoplastic disease, myocardial infarction, stroke and arteriosclerosis. Accordingly, the peptide of the present invention may be used in imaging of diagnosis of the said diseases and reaction against a drug by binding imaging reagent and etc. as well as in protection and treatment for the said diseases by binding a treatment reagent and then delivering drug selectively.</p> |
