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.
