Recovery
BPC-157
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective gastric protein. Extensive animal model research documents accelerated healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and intestinal tissue. Mechanistic studies implicate upregulation of growth hormone receptor expression, modulation of the nitric oxide system, and activation of the FAK-paxillin pathway in fibroblast migration. Its documented systemic stability in gastric juice makes it distinctive among peptide research tools.
Mechanism of Action
Upregulates GH receptors locally, modulates eNOS and nNOS activity, activates FAK-paxillin fibroblast signaling, and promotes angiogenesis via VEGF pathway potentiation.
Research Applications
- → Tendon and ligament repair models
- → Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research
- → Skeletal muscle injury and regeneration studies
- → CNS neuroprotection and PTSD models
Analytical Validation
HPLC purity ≥ 99%; endotoxin < 0.5 EU/mg (LAL); sequence GEPPPGKPADDAGLV confirmed by Edman degradation; lyophilized powder.
