BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice, consisting of 15 amino acids. It has been the subject of extensive published preclinical research examining its role in tissue repair signaling, angiogenesis, and cytoprotective mechanisms.
Research areas include:
- Nitric oxide (NO) pathway modulation and angiogenic signaling
- Growth hormone receptor upregulation in tendon and ligament fibroblasts
- Gastric mucosal protection and gastrointestinal tissue repair research
- Neurotrophin expression and dopaminergic/serotonergic system modulation
- Inflammatory cytokine regulation and wound healing cascade research
- FAK-paxillin pathway activation in connective tissue repair models
