Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically containing 2-50 amino acids. They are essentially small proteins that play important roles in our bodies.
Some key things to know about peptides:
- Peptides serve as signaling molecules and influence cellular communication and interactions
- Many peptides function as hormones, neurotransmitters, or growth factors in the body
- Peptides may have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties
- Some peptides, like glutathione, support antioxidant and detoxification processes
Examples of important peptides:
- Oxytocin - influences social bonding, sexual reproduction, childbirth
- Endorphins - natural pain relievers with morphine-like activity
