“Both are chains of amino acids. In common use, a peptide is usually shorter. A protein is usually one or more chains folded into a working shape. No single amino-acid count separates them in every context.” Peptide vs protein: what is the real difference?

What the record says: Modified peptide · different forms discussed
Collagen is a protein built from three long chains of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. Those chains are polypeptides. The phrase collagen peptides usually means shorter pieces made when collagen is broken down. The two names describe related materials at different stages, so the exact material matters.
No. Creatine is an amino-acid derivative, not a peptide. Its structure does not contain a chain of amino-acid units joined by peptide bonds.
Yes. DSIP is a peptide.
What the record says: 9 amino acids · Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu (WAGGDASGE)

Yes. Ghrelin is a peptide hormone. The reviewed human sequence record marks a 28-amino-acid form and a 27-amino-acid form within a 117-unit precursor. Some ghrelin molecules also carry a fatty-acid group. That change affects how a form is named and studied, but it does not remove its peptide chain.
Yes. GHRP-6 is a peptide.
What the record says: 6 amino acids · synthetic growth hormone-releasing peptide
Yes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone. Human records describe active forms with 30 or 31 amino-acid units, cut from a longer proglucagon protein. A medicine that activates the GLP-1 receptor is a separate molecule; its receptor action alone does not identify its chemical class.
Yes. Glucagon is a peptide hormone, a chain of amino-acid units that carries a message between cells. Mature human glucagon has 29 units. The pancreas releases it to help raise blood sugar when blood sugar falls.
Yes. Glutathione is a tripeptide, a molecule made from three amino-acid units: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Its bond between glutamate and cysteine uses glutamate's side chain. That unusual bond still fits the chemical definition of a peptide.
Yes. Gonadorelin is a peptide.

No. MK-677, also called ibutamoren, is a nonpeptide compound. It activates the ghrelin receptor, a target that receives signals in cells. Peptide compounds act on that receptor too, and a shared target does not make MK-677 a peptide.
Yes. MOTS-c is a peptide.
What the record says: 16 amino acids · mitochondria-encoded peptide
Yes. Mounjaro is a brand of tirzepatide, which is a peptide. Its FDA label names the medicine inside.
