| - | Peptides are [[https:// | + | Peptides are naturally occurring molecules in the body that play crucial roles in various biological processes. They are formed by linking two or more amino acids together, and their length can vary from just a few amino acids to several dozen. Peptides are involved in signaling pathways, regulating hormones, modulating immune responses, and facilitating cellular communication. Unlike larger proteins, peptides can penetrate cell membranes more easily, making them effective in targeting specific receptors and eliciting desired biological responses. |
