Peptides is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the biochemistry, neurochemistry, pharmacology, and biological functions of peptides. It was established in 1980 and is published by Elsevier. The editor-in-chief is Karl-Heinz Herzig (University of Oulu).
Mint Bills, formerly Check [1] and before that Pageonce, [2] was a website and mobile banking application developed by Check, Inc. [citation needed] Mint Bills utilized proprietary account aggregation technology for secure payment technologies in its mobile applications; its primary service allowed users to pay bills and track bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions and balances ...
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is a United States government agency which explores complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It was created in 1991 as the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM), and renamed the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) before receiving its current name in 2014. [1]
Peptide therapeutics are peptides or polypeptides (oligomers or short polymers of amino acids) which are used to for the treatment of diseases. Naturally occurring peptides may serve as hormones , growth factors , neurotransmitters , ion channel ligands , and anti-infectives ; peptide therapeutics mimic such functions.
Radiolabeled peptides containing RGD show high affinity and selectivity for integrin αVβ3 and are being investigated as tools to monitor treatment response of tumors via PET imaging. [24] These include 18 F-Galacto-RGD, 18 F-Fluciclatide-RGD, 18 F-RGD-K5, 68 Ga-NOTA-RGD, 68 Ga-NOTA-PRGD2, 18 F-Alfatide, 18 F-Alfatide II, and 18 F-FPPRGD2.
One of the neuroendocrine pathways, when activated, results in the release of immune regulating peptides from the submandibular gland upon neuronal stimulation from sympathetic nerves. This pathway or communication is referred to as the cervical sympathetic trunk-submandibular gland (CST-SMG) axis, a regulatory system that plays a role in the ...
A carboxypeptidase (EC number 3.4.16 - 3.4.18) is a protease enzyme that hydrolyzes (cleaves) a peptide bond at the carboxy-terminal (C-terminal) end of a protein or peptide. This is in contrast to an aminopeptidases, which cleave peptide bonds at the N-terminus of proteins. Humans, animals, bacteria and plants contain several types of ...
β-Endorphin (beta-endorphin) is an endogenous opioid neuropeptide and peptide hormone that is produced in certain neurons within the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. [1] It is one of three endorphins that are produced in humans, the others of which include α-endorphin and γ-endorphin .
