Comparison
While BPC-157 is investigated for accelerating healing of gastrointestinal mucosa, tendons, ligaments, bone, and nervous tissue in preclinical models, with anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic effects111, Epitalon is reported to increase lifespan and reduce tumor incidence in animals, and to influence differentiation of neural and mesenchymal stem cells; is studied as an epigenetic regulatory peptide36.
While BPC-157 works as 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, Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG), that has been shown to bind histones and modulate gene expression and chromatin state, with reported effects on pineal function, neurogenesis, and longevity in animal models36.
BPC-157 is 15 amino acids long, whereas Epitalon is shorter as it has a length of 4 amino acids. BPC-157 is made up of a sequence of Glycine, Glutamic acid, Proline, Proline, Proline, Glycine, Lysine, Proline, Alanine, Aspartic acid, Aspartic acid, Alanine, Glycine, Leucine, Valine. Epitalon is made up of a sequence of Alanine, Glutamic acid, Aspartic acid, Glycine.
