Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Typically, peptides contain fewer than 50 amino acids.
There are several types of peptides, including:
- Oligopeptides - Short peptide chains usually containing 2-20 amino acids
- Polypeptides - Longer peptide chains containing more than 20 amino acids
- Neuropeptides - Peptides that act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in the nervous system
Peptides play many important biological roles, including:
- Cell signaling
- Hormone activity
- Immune system function
- Antimicrobial activity
Some examples of important peptides include:
- Oxytocin - A neuropeptide involved in social bonding, reproduction, and childbirth
- Endorphins - Pain-blocking neuropeptides that act as natural opiates
- Angiotensin - A peptide hormone that helps regulate blood pressure
