Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically containing 2-50 amino acids. Peptides are distinguished from proteins on the basis of size, as peptides contain less than 50 amino acids, while proteins consist of greater than 50 amino acids. Though smaller than proteins, peptides play important biological roles in all living organisms.
Some key examples of biologically important peptides include:
Peptide | Function |
---|---|
Oxytocin | The "love hormone" that promotes bonding and feelings of affection |
Endorphins | "Feel-good" neuropeptides that act as natural pain relievers |
Angiotensin | A hormone that helps regulate blood pressure |
Glutathione | The most abundant antioxidant in the human body, protecting cells from oxidative stress |
Peptides have a number of advantages that make them useful for medical applications:
