Sequence · Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val
02Research Mechanism
BPC-157 is a stable 15-amino-acid sequence derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. In research models it is most associated with the VEGFR2–Akt–eNOS signaling axis, where it has been reported to upregulate vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and promote angiogenesis in endothelial cell assays.
