A REVIEW ON ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PEPTIDES AND ITS ACTIVITIES

Abstract

All living organisms contain anti-inflammatory peptides. These peptides show anti-inflammatory properties because they contain hydrophobic and positively charged amino acids. it is an effective immunomodulator and interferes with signal transduction pathways involved in inflammatory cytokine expression, and chemotactic. These peptides can exert health-beneficial properties and are considered as a development of nutraceuticals or functional foods.
