What are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They are smaller than proteins and typically consist of 2 to 50 amino acids. In biological systems, peptides play essential roles in various physiological processes, including cell signaling, hormonal regulation, and immune responses.
Peptides in Scientific Research
In laboratory settings, peptides are studied for their potential effects on cellular communication, growth factors, metabolic pathways, and neurological functions. Researchers utilize synthetic peptides to explore mechanisms of action, protein interactions, and potential therapeutic pathways in controlled environments.
How Are Peptides Studied?
Peptides are typically synthesized to high purity and used in in-vitro research or pre-clinical studies. Researchers may:
- Investigate peptide-receptor interactions
- Study cellular signaling pathways
- Explore metabolic or regenerative effects in biological models
