Description
Chonluten is a small molecule peptide, specifically a tripeptide (H-Glu-Asp-Gly-OH), that is being studied for its potential to normalize the function of the lungs and bronchial mucosa. It appears to work by regulating gene expression related to inflammation and antioxidant activity, as well as genes involved in proliferation responses to inflammation. It is also thought to restore protein synthesis within cells of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.

FAQ:
What is the role of peptides in skincare products? Peptides have various functions in skincare products, including:
Moisturizing: Peptides can help the skin retain moisture and increase skin hydration.
Anti-aging: Peptides can stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity.
Whitening: Some peptides can inhibit melanin production and lighten spots.
Repair: Peptides can promote cell metabolism and help repair damaged skin.
What are the uses of peptides?
Peptides have a wide range of applications in the biomedical field, including:
Drug development: Peptides can be used as lead compounds for drugs or directly as drugs themselves.
Vaccines: Peptides can be used as antigens for vaccine preparation.
Biomaterials: Peptides can be used to construct biomaterials, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Diagnostic reagents: Peptides can be used in the development of diagnostic reagents, such as those for detecting disease-related proteins.
Cosmetics: Certain peptides have moisturizing, anti-aging, and whitening effects and can be added to cosmetics.
What are the differences between peptides and proteins?
Peptides and proteins are both composed of amino acids, but they differ in molecular weight and length. Generally, those with a molecular weight less than 10,000 daltons (Da) and shorter amino acid chains are called peptides, while those with a larger molecular weight and longer amino acid chains are referred to as proteins.
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chain molecules formed by amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They typically consist of 2 to 70 amino acids.
What are the advantages of PEG-modified peptides?
Polyethylene glycol modification is the addition of a polymer (ethylene glycol) to the target molecule by means of covalent bonding. By camouflaging the peptide, the PEG modification fools the host cell's immune system, enhances the therapeutic effect of the peptide, and increases the solubility and bioavailability of the hydrophobic drug. It can also prolong the circulation time of polypeptides by decreasing renal clearance.
