Peptide Mechanism of Action

Meaning

Peptide Mechanism of Action refers to the specific biochemical pathway through which a short chain of amino acids, acting as a signaling molecule, exerts its physiological effect on target cells. This action is typically initiated by binding to specific cell-surface receptors, triggering intracellular cascades that modulate gene expression or cellular activity. Understanding this mechanism is critical for utilizing peptides therapeutically in areas like growth hormone release or metabolic regulation. We seek precise receptor engagement.
