BPC-157: Compound Profile

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids. It is derived from a protective protein found naturally in human gastric juice. Since its discovery, BPC-157 has become one of the most widely studied peptides in regenerative research.


Molecular Structure


BPC-157 has a molecular weight of 1419.53 g/mol and a molecular formula of C62H98N16O22. Its amino acid sequence is Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val. Unlike many peptides used in research, BPC-157 demonstrates notable stability in human gastric juice, which has made it a subject of interest for oral bioavailability studies.


Research Applications


Published literature has explored BPC-157 across a range of research contexts. Studies have investigated its potential role in soft tissue repair, tendon-to-bone healing, and ligament regeneration. Additional research has examined its interaction with the nitric oxide system, growth factor expression, and angiogenesis pathways.
Laboratory studies have also explored BPC-157 in the context of gastrointestinal models, with researchers noting its cytoprotective properties in mucosal lining studies. Its stability and water solubility make it a practical compound for in-vitro experimentation.


Handling and Storage


BPC-157 is typically supplied in lyophilized powder form and should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, the solution should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within a reasonable timeframe to maintain integrity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.


Purity and Testing


At White Label Research, every batch of BPC-157 undergoes third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry testing to verify identity and purity. Certificates of analysis are available on the product page. Our standard threshold is ≥99% purity.
