Peptide Signaling Sequences

Meaning

Peptide Signaling Sequences are short chains of amino acids that function as highly specific, endogenous biological messengers, binding to cell surface receptors to initiate complex intracellular signaling cascades. These sequences are distinct from classical hormones in their structure and function, acting as precise regulators of processes such as growth hormone release, immune modulation, tissue repair, and metabolic control. Their high specificity allows for targeted therapeutic intervention with minimal systemic side effects.
