BPC-157

About BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. Consisting of 15 amino acids, BPC-157 is extensively researched for its potential role in gastrointestinal protection, tissue healing mechanisms, angiogenesis pathways, and cytoprotective effects across multiple tissue types.

Key Research Applications

Gastrointestinal Research: BPC-157 is studied for its effects on gastric and intestinal epithelial healing, ulcer resolution mechanisms, inflammatory bowel disease pathways, and gut barrier function in laboratory models and tissue cultures.

Musculoskeletal Healing: Research applications include investigating tendon-to-bone healing, muscle regeneration, ligament repair mechanisms, and bone healing processes in cellular and ex-vivo tissue studies.

Vascular Research: BPC-157 is employed in angiogenesis research, studying VEGF receptor interactions, nitric oxide pathways, and its role in promoting blood vessel formation and collateral circulation development.

Neuroprotection Studies: Laboratories investigate BPC-157's potential effects on neuronal survival, dopaminergic pathway modulation, serotonin system regulation, and protection against excitotoxicity in neuronal cell cultures.

Mechanism of Action (Research Context)

Research suggests BPC-157 may interact with multiple signaling pathways including the FAK-paxillin pathway involved in cell migration and cytoskeletal organization, VEGF receptor pathways for angiogenesis, and growth hormone receptor interactions. Studies also investigate its effects on NO-system modulation and its role as a stabilizer of cellular junctions.
