Pathological oligopeptides are short chains of amino acids that can have harmful effects in certain biological contexts. They may arise from the abnormal cleavage of proteins and can contribute to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and certain types of cancer. These oligopeptides may disrupt normal cellular functions or promote toxic pathways, highlighting their potential role in disease mechanisms. Understanding their formation and effects can be crucial for developing targeted therapies.
