What (who) is peptide modulator - definition

PEPTIDE IN HOMO SAPIENS

C peptide; C-Peptide; C Peptide; C129H211N35O48

Reuptake modulator

Transporter modulator; Transporter ligand; Uptake modulator

A reuptake modulator, or transporter modulator, is a type of drug which modulates the reuptake of one or more neurotransmitters via their respective neurotransmitter transporters. Examples of reuptake modulators include reuptake inhibitors (transporter blockers) and reuptake enhancers.

Nonribosomal peptide

CLASS OF PEPTIDE SECONDARY METABOLITES, USUALLY PRODUCED BY MICROORGANISMS LIKE BACTERIA AND FUNGI

Nonribosomal peptide synthetases; Nonribosomal peptide synthetase; Nonribsomal peptide synthetase; Nonribsomal peptide synthetases; Non-ribosomal peptide synthesis; Non-ribosomal peptide; Non-ribosomal peptides; Nonribosomal peptide synthase

Nonribosomal peptides (NRP) are a class of peptide secondary metabolites, usually produced by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Nonribosomal peptides are also found in higher organisms, such as nudibranchs, but are thought to be made by bacteria inside these organisms.

Peptide hormone

HORMONE THAT IS ALSO A PEPTIDE

Protein hormone; Peptide hormones; Receptors, peptide; Polypeptide hormone

Peptide hormones or protein hormones are hormones whose molecules are peptide, or proteins, respectively. The latter have longer amino acid chain lengths than the former.

Wikipedia

C-peptide

The connecting peptide, or C-peptide, is a short 31-amino-acid polypeptide that connects insulin's A-chain to its B-chain in the proinsulin molecule. In the context of diabetes or hypoglycemia, a measurement of C-peptide blood serum levels can be used to distinguish between different conditions with similar clinical features.

In the insulin synthesis pathway, first preproinsulin is translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum of beta cells of the pancreas with an A-chain, a C-peptide, a B-chain, and a signal sequence. The signal sequence is cleaved from the N-terminus of the peptide by a signal peptidase, leaving proinsulin. After proinsulin is packaged into vesicles in the Golgi apparatus (beta-granules), the C-peptide is removed, leaving the A-chain and B-chain bound together by disulfide bonds, that constitute the insulin molecule.
