Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Peptides contain less than 50 amino acids, while longer chains are called proteins.
Peptides play many important roles in the human body. Some examples include:
- Signaling between cells - Peptides like insulin signal cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream.
- Immune defense - Antimicrobial peptides fight bacteria, viruses and fungi.
- Hormones - Peptides including oxytocin, vasopressin and human growth hormone regulate body processes.
Some synthetic peptides made in the lab also have uses as
medicines. For example:
- Diabetes medicines like insulin
- Human growth hormone to treat growth disorders
- Antimicrobial peptides to fight infections
