Hutchinson, J. A., Burholt, S. and Hamley, I. W. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4549-0926 (2017) Peptide hormones and lipopeptides: from self-assembly to therapeutic applications. Journal of Peptide Science, 23 (2). pp. 82-94. ISSN 1099-1387 doi: 10.1002/psc.2954

Abstract/Summary

This review describes the properties and activities of lipopeptides and peptide hormones and how the lipidation of peptide hormones could potentially produce therapeutic agents combating some of the most prevalent diseases and conditions. The self-assembly of these types of molecules is outlined, and how this can impact on bioactivity. Peptide hormones specific to the uptake of food and produced in the gastrointestinal tract are discussed in detail. The advantages of lipidated peptide hormones over natural peptide hormones are summarised, in terms of stability and renal clearance, with potential application as therapeutic agents
