BPC-157

Also known as Body Protective Compound 157 · PL 14736

Synthetic gastric pentadecapeptide investigated for tendon, ligament, and GI repair.

Overview

BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid sequence derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. Preclinical work suggests pro-angiogenic and cytoprotective activity across tendon, ligament, muscle, and GI tissue.

Mechanism

Putative upregulation of VEGFR2 and modulation of nitric oxide / growth factor pathways.
