Cytoprotective Peptides

Synthetic peptides studied in vitro in cytoprotection, tissue-culture and wound-healing assay models. What they have in common is the signalling examined in those models: cell migration, matrix deposition and the local regulation of inflammation.

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide with the longest published record in the group, appearing in assays of angiogenic signalling and epithelial migration. GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide studied in collagen-transcription and gene-array work. KPV is an alpha-MSH fragment studied in NF-kB pathway and antimicrobial plate assays. Thymulin is a zinc-coordinated thymic peptide studied in T-cell differentiation and cytokine-expression models.

Every vial ships as a lyophilised powder with an independent certificate of analysis: HPLC purity, mass spectrometry identity, and a batch number on the vial that matches the report. Our guide to reading a certificate sets out what each figure measures.

Reconstitution is a chemistry question rather than a protocol. The diluent, the working concentration and the storage conditions after mixing are specified per compound on its own page.
