Skin
The largest organ, and the target for the melanocortin and copper peptides. Pigment, collagen and wound repair all happen here.

4 connectionsSkin 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.
Melanocortin 1 Receptor
The pigment receptor on melanocytes. Activating it makes the skin produce eumelanin, which is the tanning effect of the melanotans. The same receptor family also damps inflammation, which is what KPV uses it for.
Skin stimulates
Collagen Synthesis
Building the protein that tendon, ligament, joint surface and skin are made of. It moves slower than muscle does, and not every androgen supports it equally.
Melanin Production
Pigment production in the skin. Driving it produces a tan without sun exposure, and it is the only proven effect of the melanotans.
