Or it could be that it's modifying certain proteins that already exist or linking different proteins together in a more favorable fashion for gene transcription.
The Russian peptides are all epigenetic modifiers that they bind to the groove of the DNA in certain spots that either open up or close the chromatin to certain areas of genetic expression.
And they've modeled this out.
Like a steroid hormone.
So steroid hormones bind, like they bind to a, like the end receptor binds DHT or testosterone, goes into the nucleus, turns on all the androgenic genes.
Yeah.
Like puberty is a good example of that.
Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
So like penelion that we've talked about, uh, shuttles, uh, heat shock proteins with androgen receptors.
Got it.
best way to look at it is you know as humans we've been looking for medicines in plants for thousands of years and in the last let's say 150 years we've been looking for medicines in cells so animal derived versus plant plant derived medicines is the way you think about it you think about aspirin you think about metformin the statins those were all discovered in you know plant tissues um statins more so fungi but you get the point now we've been looking into animal tissues to find cures medicines treatments
So a group in Croatia in the 90s looks out for this peptide called BPC, eventually named BPC.
It's a 40,000 Dalton giant peptide called BPC.
BPC-157 is 15 amino acids from that giant peptide.
We don't naturally make BPC-157.
That's what you'll commonly hear online.
We make BPC the big peptide.
protein.
what eventually became BPC.
