Neurotransmitter Inhibitor Peptides

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Inhibitor Peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as neuromodulators by selectively binding to receptors or enzymes within the central and peripheral nervous systems to decrease the synthesis, release, or action of specific excitatory neurotransmitters. These peptides are designed to exert a targeted, dampening effect on excessive neuronal signaling, which is often implicated in conditions characterized by chronic stress, anxiety, or pain hypersensitivity. Clinically, they represent a sophisticated class of therapeutic agents aimed at restoring homeostatic balance to the nervous system, thereby indirectly influencing the downstream regulation of the endocrine axes. Their precision targeting offers an alternative to traditional small-molecule drugs.
