Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. They typically consist of 2 to 50 amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Peptides play crucial roles in biological processes, including hormone signaling, immune responses, and cell communication.
Types of Peptides
-
Dipeptides, Tripeptides, etc. – Classified based on the number of amino acids (e.g., dipeptides have 2, tripeptides have 3).
-
Oligopeptides – Short peptides with up to 10-20 amino acids.
-
Polypeptides – Longer chains of amino acids (but still shorter than full proteins).
Functions of Peptides
-
Hormonal regulation (e.g., insulin, which controls blood sugar)
-
Neurotransmission (e.g., endorphins, which help with pain relief)
-
Immune system support (e.g., antimicrobial peptides that fight infections)
-
Muscle growth and repair (e.g., creatine peptide)
Peptides are widely used in medicine, skincare, and bodybuilding due to their biological activities.
NAD +
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in metabolism, energy production, and cellular repair. Here’s a breakdown of its key functions and significance.
Semorelin
Sermorelin (also called Sermorelin Acetate) is a synthetic peptide that stimulates the production of growth hormone (GH) by acting on the pituitary gland. It is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, meaning it mimics the natural hormone that signals the body to release GH.
