Peptides are chains of amino acids. There are 21 proteinogenic L-a amino acids that, in various combinations and permutations, make up the peptides and proteins of living things. Virtually every life process involves peptides in some way. Their key role is to regulate body functions such as the release of hormones, the regulation of blood sugar levels, bone metabolism and various neurological processes. Chains containing more than approx. 100 amino acids are generally called proteins.

Peptides play a key role in the growing segment of biopharmaceuticals. Peptide-based drug targets are being identified at an increasingly rapid pace and a variety of new peptide drugs are being developed as novel therapies for cancer, pain treatment, viral infections, diabetes and a host of endocrine and neurological disorders.

Bachem has almost 40 years of experience producing and selling peptides. We have the expertise and resources necessary to develop and manufacture custom research peptides and custom cGMP peptides.

Bachem provides 4300 peptides and biochemicals in catalog quantities right from stock. Please check out our online catalog, or order your printed copy here.

Although we have an extensive list of 4300 peptides and biochemicals, including more than 1050 inhibitors and substrates in the Bachem catalog, your project may require a unique peptide. If you are looking for a custom research peptide or a custom cGMP peptide, let our experienced experts produce the compound that you require either in gram quantities or up to hundreds of kilograms.

In addition, we offer a broad range of generic APIs. Please check it out.
