Salivary Peptide Analogs
Saliva contains real antimicrobial peptides, but this analog-class vendor heading identifies no characterized products.
Overview
This catalog heading covers salivary peptide analogs in a salivary and oral-mucosa category. Saliva does contain numerous endogenous peptides with genuine antimicrobial and mucosal-protective functions, such as histatins and proline-rich proteins, that are of real research interest. However, no specific analog product under this label is characterized in the peer-reviewed literature, and the entry functions as a vendor grouping; identity and evidence must be confirmed product by product.
