B7-33 is a single-chain peptide. It is derived from a naturally occurring compound called H2-Relaxin. Relaxin proteins are a family of four proteins comprising Relaxin, Insulin-like peptide 3, H3-relaxin, and insulin-like peptide 5. They all possess pleiotropic...

What is Humanin? It is a micro-peptide and consists of a three-turn alpha-helix. It has an asymmetrical structure. The number of amino acids comprising the peptide chain depends on the peptide site. It consists of 21 amino acids produced in mitochondria, and 24 amino...

WHAT IS ARA-290? ARA-290 is a peptide derivative of erythropoietin (EPO). Erythropoietin is the primary hormone responsible for erythropoiesis, which is the production of new red blood cells. In addition, it is also involved in angiogenesis (production of new blood...

Kisspeptin-10 is a newly identified peptide named after the famous chocolate 'Kisses.' It is derived from the Kiss-1 gene, which is transcribed into the kiss-1 protein before it is finally transformed into Kisspeptin-10. It is mainly synthesized by two clusters of...

BPC 157 is the new hope in the fight against Covid-19. It is a peptide that has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and cytoprotective effects in several organs in the body. The Covid-19 pandemic has ravaged the world for quite some years now. Several lives...

Thymosin Alpha 1 (Tα1) is a peptide naturally produced by the thymus gland. A pleiotropic peptide stimulates or downregulates inflammation and immune function depending on the host's state. What is the Structure of Thymosin Alpha 1 (Tα1)? Tα1 contains 28 amino acids...

Both peptides and proteins are composed of long-chain, co-linked amino acids called polymers (hence the name of peptide bonds). The only thing that distinguishes them from proteins is their size. There is no absolute cutoff, but they are much smaller because they are...

What Are Peptides? Peptides are simply short proteins or chains of amino acids. They can be up to 2 or 3 amino acid lengths of up to 50 amino acids. They generally do not have a significant structure beyond their amino acid sequence (the primary structure). Some Of...

Everyone has a difference in their skin type. Either because of the amount of melanin or because of its fat. But knowing your type is the beginning to understanding how to take care of it. So let's take a look at the different types. Normal Skin The normal skin of a...

WHAT IS GHRP 6? GHRP 6 is a first-line synthetic hexapeptide and a met-enkephalin derivative. It comprises a chain of 6 unnatural D amino acids with the sequence (His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2). Additionally, the peptide also contains two methyl groups as...
