Signaling Peptide Kinetics

Meaning

Signaling Peptide Kinetics refers to the study of the time-dependent changes in the concentration, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of small protein molecules used for intercellular communication. This discipline is essential for understanding the precise physiological effects of therapeutic peptides, as their biological activity is critically dependent on their absorption and half-life in the body. It integrates the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for peptide-based treatments.
