Peptide Therapy Classification

Meaning

Peptide therapy classification is the systematic organization of therapeutic peptides based on their chemical structure, biological function, or their primary target within the body’s regulatory systems. Classification is essential for clinical practice, enabling precise communication and protocol development for diverse agents that range from growth hormone secretagogues to immunomodulatory peptides. Common classifications include grouping by the endocrine axis targeted, such as hypothalamic-pituitary peptides, or by their primary effect, such as metabolic regulators or tissue repair agents.
