Targeted Peptide Therapeutics

Meaning

Targeted Peptide Therapeutics refers to the clinical use of short chains of amino acids, known as peptides, that are specifically engineered or naturally occurring to bind with high affinity to discrete receptors or signaling molecules within the endocrine system. These compounds are designed to elicit a precise biological response, such as stimulating growth hormone release or modulating immune function, offering a high degree of specificity and reduced off-target effects compared to traditional pharmaceuticals.
