PC-157 Peptide
BPC-157, also known as Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 or Body Protection Compound 157, is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from gastric juice, studied for its tissue-protective and regenerative properties.
Additionally, research suggests BPC-157 modulates gastrointestinal function, influencing serotonergic pathways by counteracting 5-HT2A receptor activity, which may contribute to gut mucosal integrity and neuroprotective effects. Studies have also explored its anti-inflammatory potential, vascularization effects, and involvement in tendon, ligament, muscle, and bone repair.
Ongoing studies continue to assess its mechanisms in gastrointestinal ulcer healing and functional recovery, reinforcing its emerging significance in regenerative medicine.
