This pentadecapeptide (Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val) demonstrates remarkable physicochemical stability across diverse biological environments, including resistance to gastric acid degradation and enzymatic hydrolysis, which facilitates multiple routes of administration including enteral delivery
This GHR upregulation sensitises local cells to circulating GH, potentiating GH-induced JAK2/STAT signalling and stimulating collagen matrix synthesis, IGF-1 production, and fibroblast proliferation providing a mechanism through which BPC-157 engages the GH/IGF-1 axis at the tissue level without altering systemic GH secretion
