Function
BPC-157 is a Signal peptide.
This Peptide is investigated for accelerating healing of gastrointestinal mucosa, tendons, ligaments, bone, and nervous tissue in preclinical models, with anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic effects111
Peptide record
BPC-157
Peptide record
BPC-157
Mechanism
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid fragment of a gastric cytoprotective protein that promotes angiogenesis and tissue protection primarily by modulating VEGFR2 signaling, Src/caveolin-1–dependent eNOS activation, and nitric oxide production111
BPC-157 is a Signaling modulator.
Receptor
VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2) on endothelial cells, with downstream eNOS and nitric-oxide–mediated signaling11
Length
15 amino acids
