Peptides

Peptide hormones are small, processed, and secreted peptides that signal via membrane receptors and play critical roles in normal and pathological physiology. The primary structure of peptides and proteins refers to the linear number and order of the amino acids present. Modern peptide synthesizers are more reliable, versatile, efficient, highly productive and less expensive. Learn about peptides, custom peptide synthesis, and companies and vendors that offer peptide services. Peptides have received prominence in molecular biology in recent times for several reasons. Peptide chains longer than a few dozen amino acids are called proteins. It is estimated that there are more than 40 marketed peptides.
