YGFGG, C-terminal pentapeptide fragment of the osteogenic growth peptide (OGP), (H-8640), showed the full spectrum of OGP-like bioactivities. It has attracted considerable interest as bone anabolic agent and hematopoietic stimulator.
Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) is a short, naturally occurring 14-mer growth factor peptide found in serum at μM concentrations and is a key factor in the systemic osteogenic response to local bone marrow injury.
CW 008 is an activator of the cAMP PKA CREB pathway. It promotes osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro and increases bone mass and bone volume density in ovariectomized mice.
