Peptide having zirconia-binding capacity

Abstract

The present invention relates to a peptide that binds specifically to the surface of zirconia, and more particularly, to a peptide conjugate obtained by linking a functional drug to the peptide so as to enable the drug to be securely fixed to the surface of zirconia to thereby maintain the activity of the drug over a long period of time. The zirconia-binding peptide according to the present invention can be securely fixed to the surface of zirconia so that the activity of a physiologically active substance introduced into the peptide can be maintained on the zirconia surface over a long period of time. Thus, the zirconia-binding peptide is useful for surgical regenerative treatment.
