Cryptic peptides (cryptides) are biologically active peptides formed after proteolysis of native precursors present in animal venoms, for example. Proteolysis is an overlooked post-translational modification that increases venom complexity. The tripeptide KPP (Lys-Pro-Pro) is a peptide encrypted in the C-terminus of Ts14-a 25-mer peptide from the venom of the <i>Tityus serrulatus</i> scorpion that has a positive impact on the cardiovascular system, inducing vasodilation and reducing arterial blo ...[more]
