In the preclinical literature it is described across six complementary axes: angiogenesis via VEGFR2/eNOS/NO, regulation of FAK-paxillin signalling, protection of the endothelium and the gastric-intestinal mucosa, modulation of the brain-gut axis with the NO pathway, tendon maturation with fibroblast proliferation, and cytoprotection as a common denominator

Its particularly effective at protecting against all sorts of toxic assaults on the body, particularly those absorbed through the gut: The stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 protects stomach cells, maintains gastric integrity against various noxious agents such as alcohol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and exerts cytoprotection/ adaptive cytoprotection/organoprotection in other epithelia, that is, skin, liver, pancreas, heart, and brain.
