Gut Lining
The single cell layer separating gut contents from the bloodstream. Most peptides sold for gut health are aimed at either repairing it or keeping its tight junctions shut.
Relationships
5 connectionsGut Lining expressed in
EGF Receptor
Drives epithelial cells to divide and migrate over a wound. It is one of the several targets BPC-157 is credited with, and it is also a well-known oncology target, which is the reason the growth-signal caution exists.
Formyl Peptide Receptor 2
The receptor that tells inflammation to stop and start clearing up, rather than blocking it from starting. Humanin and LL-37 both act here.
Oxytocin Receptor
Oxytocin's receptor, and it is not only in the brain. The uterus, heart, gut and T-cells all carry it, which is why an intranasal dose taken for mood also has cardiovascular and gut effects.
VPAC Receptors
VIP's two receptors. They open airways, widen vessels, move the gut and damp cytokine output, which is why one peptide is studied for conditions as unrelated as pulmonary hypertension and inflammatory bowel disease.
