Abstract
The invention relates to a peptide of sequence (I) or (Ia): ##STR1## where X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3, X.sub.4, X.sub.5, X.sub.7, X.sub.8, X.sub.9, X.sub.10, X.sub.11, X.sub.12, X.sub.13, X.sub.14, X.sub.15, X.sub.16 each represent an .alpha.-amino acid, X.sub.6 representing tryptophan. This peptide comprises between 6 and 10 hydrophobic amino acids. The invention also relates to the use of the said peptide for introducing, into living cells, a molecule which is active on the cellular functions.
