Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of body protection compound derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. Unlike many research peptides, BPC-157 exhibits stability in human gastric juice and remains active even without a carrier.
BPC-157 has been widely studied in animal models for its effects on tissue repair and regeneration across multiple systems including musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and nervous tissue. It is considered a pleiotropic peptide due to its broad range of studied activities in preclinical research.
Mechanism of Research Interest
Research into BPC-157 focuses on several proposed mechanisms, including:
- Upregulation of growth hormone receptor expression in tendon fibroblasts
- Interaction with the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems in the CNS
- Influence on nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and angiogenesis pathways
- Modulation of EGR-1 gene expression and collagen production in connective tissue
- Cytoprotective effects on intestinal epithelial cells under stress conditions
