The invention relates to a polypeptide for delaying
telomere shortening and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
biology. The invention provides a polypeptide for delaying
telomere shortening. The
amino acid sequence of the polypeptide is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. Researches show that the polypeptide has efficient
biological activity, and can significantly slow down the
cell aging process by delaying
telomere shortening, improving the expression level of
telomerase reverse transcriptase, improving the activity of
telomerase and inhibiting the expression level of beta-galactosidase. Moreover, the polypeptide is derived from a
fermentation process of a natural dairy product, and has relatively high safety and relatively low
side effect risk. In addition, the polypeptide is small in molecular weight and easy to absorb by the
human body, and the
bioavailability of the
medicine can be improved. Therefore, the polypeptide has great application prospects in delaying telomere shortening, resisting aging and treating diseases related to telomere deletion or dysfunction.
