BPC-157
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids with the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val, originally derived from a protein fragment identified in gastric tissue. Since its discovery in the early 1990s, BPC-157 has been studied extensively in controlled experimental settings for its potential influence on molecular signaling, structural remodeling, and angiogenic processes. It promotes angiogenesis via VEGF pathways, enhances collagen synthesis, and modulates nitric oxide signaling. Research has demonstrated consistent activity across musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, vascular, and neurological injury models, positioning it as a widely explored compound in regenerative preclinical research.
