In basal keratinocytes, the peptide increases integrin expression and enhances p63 positivity, a transcription factor that maintains stem cell characteristics
Because that figure comes from rodent research, many start patients at the low end (about 5 mcg/kg or a flat 250 mcg) and adjust over one to two weeks

BPC-157 stands for Body Protection Compound 157, a synthetic peptide made up of 15 amino acids derived from a natural compound found in human gastric juice
It provides protection against the damaging effects of a wide range of noxious agents, such as alcohol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are known to cause significant tissue injury
