They also express Bv8, also known as prokineticin 2, which plays an important role in MDSC mediated angiogenesis [253]
Background and isolation BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide with the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV) and a monoisotopic molecular weight of approximately 1419.55 Da (Sikiric et al., 2018)
While there is some work left to do studying this amino acid to see what it can do in larger applications, it has demonstrated its effectiveness at reducing inflammation and promoting wound healing already in the past 40 years of study

All amino acids share a central carbon (C) bonded to an amino group (-NH), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain (R group)
