The application discloses an active
peptide for regulating intestinal epithelial
mucus barrier function and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, wherein the
amino acid sequence of the active
peptide is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The application takes duck
skin as
raw material, extracts a
protein extract, carries out enzymolysis, collects low-molecular-weight
peptide components through
ultrafiltration grading, carries out freeze-
drying to obtain active peptide crude
powder, and then carries out screening and separation and purification on the active peptide crude
powder through an intestinal epithelial
mucus barrier damage model to obtain a target active peptide. The active peptide can significantly improve the
secretion level of
mucin, promote the expression of a MUC2
gene, maintain the
secretion function of goblet cells, restore the integrity of a
mucus layer, effectively improve the damaged intestinal epithelial mucus
barrier function under the stimulation of
inflammation and oxidation stress, and block the contact between pathogenic microorganisms and toxins and epithelial cells. The active peptide obtained by the application has clear structure and definite function, and provides a new way for high-value utilization of
livestock and poultry by-products and development of intestinal health products.
