Abstract:

Numerous studies have reported that bioactive peptides have many physiological functions to human including immune regulation on gut mucosa with tremendous surface area. Current research progress of bioactive peptides is reviewed here. Effects of bioactive peptides on SIgA, Th cells, cytokines and immune signaling pathways are discussed on the basis of structures and immune mechanisms of gut mucosa. The future development prospects of bioactive peptides are proposed.

Key words: bioactive peptide, gut mucosa, SigA, cytokine, immune signaling pathway
