Peptide Therapeutic Targets

Meaning

Peptide Therapeutic Targets are the specific biological molecules, primarily cell-surface receptors or enzymes, that a therapeutic peptide is designed to bind to and modulate in order to achieve a desired clinical outcome. These targets are often key components of the body’s endogenous hormonal and metabolic signaling pathways, offering a high degree of specificity for treating complex conditions. Identifying and validating these targets is the foundational step in the development of new peptide-based medicines for longevity and health.
