Peptides-specifically peptide hormones-are essential substances in the human body. They regulate growth and development, maintain balance, and play a crucial role in stabilizing the body's internal environment and regulating metabolism. They promote protein synthesis and modulate the metabolism and functions of various bodily systems, organs, and cells. Additionally, they boost immunity and exert a distinct stabilizing effect on the nervous system.
Hormonal peptides are short-chain molecules formed by amino acids linked via peptide bonds. Secreted by endocrine glands or cells, they are transported through the bloodstream to bind with receptors on target cells, thereby regulating various physiological functions such as metabolism, growth, and immunity.
