海参肽生物学功能研究进展

生物活性肽是指参与机体生命活动的、具有生物活性的肽类分子,其对人类健康的影响已成为研究热点,并由此开发出各种不同生理功能的活性肽。近年来,海参作为一种营养与药用价值极高的海洋棘皮动物,从中提取的活性肽——海参肽的生物学功能逐渐引起人们的重视。但大多研究仅停留海参肽的提取工艺上,有关其功能和应用方面的研究很少。本文以国内外相关报道为基础,对海参肽的生物学功能研究进展进行综述,为进一步研究海参肽对人体健康的影响及机制提供参考。

Biological Functions and Applications of Sea Cucumber Peptide

Biologically active peptide (BAP), a kind of peptide molecule having biological activity, is involved in multiple
life activities. BAP plays an important role in human health, and the studies on it have become a hot spot. Meanwhile, a
variety of BAP products with different physiological activities have been developed. In recent years, sea cucumber peptide,
the BAP extracted from sea cucumber, which is a marine echinoderm with high nutritional and medicinal value, has gained
extensive attention. However, most studies on sea cucumber peptide are focused on the extraction process, and its functions
and applications have less been reported. The article is aimed to review the physical and chemical properties, biological
functions and applications of sea cucumber peptide based on the relevant reports at home and abroad, and provide a reference
for further study on human health effects and the relevant mechanisms.
