Abstract Background: Miniproteins, defined as polypeptides containing fewer than 50 amino acids, have recently elicited significant interest due to an emerging understanding of their diverse roles in fundamental biological processes. In addition, miniprotein dysregulation underlies human diseases and is a significant focus for biotechnology and drug development. Notably, the human genome project revealed the existence of many novel miniproteins, most of which remain uncharacterized.
