How Peptides Work

Understanding the mechanisms behind peptide therapies

1

Receptor Binding

Peptides bind to specific cell surface receptors, triggering targeted cellular responses without affecting other systems.

2

Signal Transduction

Upon binding, peptides initiate intracellular signaling cascades that amplify the therapeutic effect throughout the cell.

3

Biological Response

The signaling cascade results in specific biological outcomes: hormone release, gene expression, or cellular function changes.
