Several short peptides appear repeatedly in published tissue-repair and inflammation research. Below is a brief overview of four of them, what they are, and the kinds of research models they have been studied in.
BPC-157
A synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide whose sequence is derived from a protein found in gastric juice. It has been studied in animal and cell models of tendon, ligament and gastrointestinal tissue, and in angiogenesis signalling research.
TB-500
A synthetic fragment related to thymosin beta-4, a protein involved in actin regulation. Research has focused on cell-migration and tissue-model studies.
GHK-Cu
A copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-histidyl-lysine). It is widely used in cosmetic-science and cell-culture research on collagen and extracellular-matrix signalling.
KPV
A tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been studied in inflammation-signalling models.
