BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide corresponding to a partial sequence of a protein identified in gastric juice. Supplied as a research reference compound, it is characterized by the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val and is noted in the literature for stability under acidic conditions relative to many peptides of comparable length.

In experimental settings, BPC-157 has been studied in models of connective-tissue and gastrointestinal repair, angiogenic signaling, and cytoprotective pathways. It is also examined in investigations of growth-factor and nitric-oxide system interactions. This material is intended solely for in vitro and laboratory research applications and is not formulated, labeled, or supplied for any diagnostic, clinical, or in vivo use in humans.

Store lyophilized powder at -20 C protected from light and moisture for long-term storage. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20 C; minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

For laboratory research use only. Typically reconstituted in sterile bacteriostatic or distilled water for in vitro work; verify solubility for the intended assay buffer.
