Therapeutic application of BPC-157, a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a gastric juice protein, primarily utilized for its regenerative and protective effects on tissues. Clinically, it is investigated for accelerating wound healing and mitigating inflammation in various organ systems. This peptide shows potential in supporting the body’s intrinsic repair mechanisms.
Origin
BPC stands for Body Protection Compound, initially isolated from human gastric juice, emphasizing its role in mucosal integrity. The numbering 157 denotes its specific sequence within the larger peptide structure studied in early gastroenterological research.
Mechanism
BPC-157 appears to interact with growth hormone secretagogue receptor systems and may modulate nitric oxide pathways crucial for angiogenesis and tissue repair. Furthermore, it can influence the expression of various growth factors, facilitating the reconstruction of damaged tendons, ligaments, and mucosal barriers. This action supports systemic resilience against physical stressors.
