Peptide Messenger Sequences

Meaning

Peptide Messenger Sequences refer to short chains of amino acids that function as signaling molecules, acting as hormones, growth factors, or neurotransmitters to regulate a vast array of physiological processes, often by binding to highly specific cell surface receptors. These sequences are essentially the body’s endogenous communication codes, instructing cells to perform specific actions like repair, growth, or immune modulation. Clinically, synthetic or bioidentical versions of these peptides are utilized as targeted therapeutic agents due to their high specificity and minimal systemic side effects compared to traditional, larger protein hormones. Their function is crucial for intercellular communication and homeostatic control.
