ARA-290 peptide, also known as cibinetide and helix B surface peptide (HBSP) in scientific literature, is an 11 amino acid chain derived from the beta domain of the naturally-occurring protein erythropoietin (EPO). This part of the EPO sequence is considered to assist in tissue regeneration and repair without exerting stimulus on the production of red blood cells. Scientists consider the primary function of the EPO is to stimulate tissues to produce red blood cells. Still, the beta domain of the protein, and consequently ARA-290, do not appear to possess this property. Instead, they may possess certain potential regenerative, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, and other lesser-known properties of the original naturally occurring EPO protein.
