Healing & Tissue-Repair Peptides
Peptides studied for tendon, ligament, muscle, and gut repair — BPC-157, TB-500, and related regenerative agents.
Healing & Body-Protection Peptides (20)
Ac-SDKP (Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment)
Research-Grade
N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline — a naturally occurring anti-fibrotic tetrapeptide derived from the N-terminus of thymosin beta-4, regulated by ACE and studied for cardiac, renal, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Aib-BPC-157
Research-Grade
A modified analog of BPC-157 incorporating alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) substitutions to enhance proteolytic stability and extend biological half-life while preserving cytoprotective activity.
Alanyl-Glutamine (Ala-Gln)
Research-Grade
A stable dipeptide form of glutamine used in clinical nutrition for gut barrier integrity, immune support, and post-surgical recovery — solving glutamine's instability problem.
Angiotensin-(1-7)
Research-Grade
A counter-regulatory heptapeptide of the renin-angiotensin system that opposes the vasoconstrictive and pro-inflammatory effects of angiotensin II through the Mas receptor, with cardioprotective, anti-fibrotic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Apelin
Research-Grade
An endogenous peptide ligand for the APJ receptor (apelin receptor) with potent cardiovascular, angiogenic, and fluid homeostasis functions, studied as a potential therapeutic in heart failure and metabolic disease.
Apraglutide
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals
A long-acting GLP-2 receptor agonist in late-stage development for short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure, engineered for once-weekly dosing to promote intestinal growth and improve nutrient and fluid absorption.
BPC-157
Research-Grade
A 15-amino-acid peptide fragment derived from gastric juice protein BPC, studied extensively in animal models for tissue healing and gut integrity.
Catestatin
Research-Grade
A 21-amino-acid endogenous peptide derived from chromogranin A that inhibits catecholamine release via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonism, with cardiovascular protective, antimicrobial, and metabolic regulatory properties under active investigation for hypertension and heart failure.
CGRP
Research-Grade
Calcitonin gene-related peptide, the most potent endogenous vasodilator known, with a central role in migraine pathophysiology and emerging significance in wound healing and cardiovascular protection.
Difelikefalin
Korsuva / Kapruvia
A peripherally-restricted kappa-opioid receptor agonist peptide — approved for the itching (pruritus) of chronic kidney disease in dialysis patients, without the central effects of classic opioids.
Glepaglutide
Research-Grade
A long-acting GLP-2 receptor analog engineered for less-frequent dosing than teduglutide. Investigated for short bowel syndrome, it stimulates intestinal mucosal growth and absorption with a once- or twice-weekly regimen.
Larazotide Acetate
Pharmaceutical
A synthetic octapeptide tight junction regulator studied in Phase III clinical trials for celiac disease — acts locally in the gut to prevent paracellular permeability increase (leaky gut).
Linaclotide
Linzess / Constella
Linaclotide is an FDA-approved 14-amino-acid peptide and guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist prescribed for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Marketed as Linzess in the US and Constella in Europe, it acts locally in the intestinal lumen to stimulate fluid secretion and reduce visceral pain.
PEGylated BPC-157
Research-Grade
A polyethylene glycol-conjugated variant of BPC-157 engineered for extended half-life and reduced injection frequency while retaining the parent peptide's tissue-healing properties.
Pentosan Polysulfate (PPS)
Prescription
A semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycan with anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties, FDA-approved for interstitial cystitis and studied for osteoarthritis cartilage protection.
Plecanatide (Trulance)
Prescription
An FDA-approved 16-amino acid guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist structurally analogous to human uroguanylin, prescribed for chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
TB-500 (Thymosin β4 Fragment)
Research-Grade
Synthetic fragment of Thymosin β4 investigated for actin-binding, cell migration, and tissue repair across muscle, cornea, and cardiac models.
Teduglutide
Gattex / Revestive
An FDA- and EMA-approved GLP-2 analog that promotes intestinal mucosal growth. Used to reduce parenteral nutrition dependence in short bowel syndrome, teduglutide increases villus height, crypt depth, and nutrient absorption.
Thymosin Beta-4
Research-Grade
A 43-amino acid peptide and the primary intracellular G-actin sequestering protein. TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4's active site — this is the full-length parent molecule with broader tissue repair and anti-inflammatory evidence.
Ziconotide
Prialt
A synthetic cone-snail venom peptide (ω-conotoxin) delivered directly into spinal fluid — an approved non-opioid treatment for severe, refractory chronic pain.
