targetingpeptiden
Targetingpeptiden are short amino acid sequences that confer specificity to biological targets, enabling selective delivery of therapeutic cargos or imaging agents. By binding to receptors, transporters, or membrane components associated with particular cell types, tissues, or organelles, these peptides help concentrate active compounds at the desired site while reducing exposure elsewhere.
Mechanisms and classes vary. Receptor-targeting peptides bind cell-surface receptors overexpressed in diseased tissues and can trigger
Applications span drug delivery and diagnostics. Targetingpeptiden are used to enhance delivery of chemotherapeutics, siRNA, or
Design and practical considerations are central to their use. Successful targeting requires balancing affinity, specificity, and
