| Peptides are organic compounds made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They are smaller than proteins, consisting of 2 to 50 amino acids, whereas proteins are typically composed of 50 or more amino acids. Peptides play critical roles in various biological processes, including hormone regulation, immune function, and cellular signaling. Naturally occurring peptides can be found throughout the body, and many of them serve as hormones or neurotransmitters, | Peptides are organic compounds made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
