Polypeptides of A1-Arg-A2-Cys-Tyr-A3-A4-X-A5-A6-Cit Cys-A7 (I) or their
salts (wherein A1 is hydrogen or a residue of arginine, lysine,
ornithine, citrulline, alanine, or the like; A2 is an aromatic amino acid
residue; A3, A4 and A6 are each a residue of arginine, lysine, ornithine,
citrulline, or alanine; A5 is a residue of tyrosine, phenylalanine,
alanine, naphthylalanine, or citrulline; A7 is a lysine or arginine
residue whose carboxyl group may be converted into amido; and X is a
residue of D-ornithyl-proline, prolyl-D-ornithine, D-lysylproline, or the
like, with the proviso that any one of A1, A3, A4, A5, A6 and A7 is a
residue of alanine or the like or that X is citrulline or the like).
