BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic fifteen-amino-acid peptide whose sequence matches a fragment of a natural gastric protective protein found in human gastric juice. Thanks to its compact structure and good stability in aqueous media, it is widely used as a model compound in molecular biology and cell culture research. PeptXBio supplies it as a high-grade laboratory lyophilised powder, ready for in vitro work.

Quality and purity

≥99% purity (HPLC). Every batch is an analytically verified lyophilised powder with consistent purity and reproducible composition, so research results stay consistent from vial to vial.

Specifications

  • CAS number: 137525-51-0
  • Molecular formula: C62H98N16O22
  • Molecular weight: 1419.5 g/mol
  • Amino acid sequence: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV)
  • Peptide chain: 15 amino acids

Why it is studied

In the laboratory, BPC-157 is studied as a tool for investigating tissue repair, angiogenesis and wound-healing mechanisms in cell cultures. In in vitro models, researchers look at its possible links with growth factor signalling pathways such as VEGFR2, with the nitric oxide (NO) system, and with fibroblast and endothelial cell migration. These experiments are carried out on isolated cells or tissue samples to understand the biological pathways themselves. This information is provided for research context only and is not an instruction for use.

Reconstitution

For laboratory work, the lyophilised powder is dissolved in bacteriostatic water, adding the solvent slowly down the side of the vial. Swirl the vial gently until the powder has fully dissolved; do not shake, so as not to damage the peptide. Keep the prepared stock solution cold, in line with your research protocol.

What you get

  • Active substance: BPC-157
  • Form: lyophilised powder
  • Amount per vial: 10 mg
  • Solvent (sold separately): bacteriostatic water

Storage

Keep the unopened vial in a refrigerator (2–8 °C), or in a freezer (−20 °C) for longer storage, protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated and use it within the time set out in your research protocol.

Frequently asked questions

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide made up of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of a protective compound (BPC) isolated from human gastric juice. In the scientific literature, BPC-157 is linked to the nitric oxide (NO) system and growth factor signalling pathways. Preclinical studies (Sikiric et al., 2018, Journal of Physiology-Paris) describe its association with angiogenesis – the formation of new blood vessels – and with cell migration. Increased fibroblast activity has been observed in in vitro models, which is why BPC-157 is widely used in regenerative biology research.

In the scientific literature (Sikiric et al., Current Neuropharmacology, 2021), BPC-157 is described in research on muscle, tendon and ligament tissue regeneration, inflammatory processes and oxidative stress. Some of these data come from preclinical animal models, so in in vitro work they serve as a source of hypotheses. In neurological models BPC-157 is linked to the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, and in gastrointestinal research to the repair of mucosal cells. The BPC-157 supplied by PeptXBio is intended for in vitro research only – not for humans or animals.

Our BPC-157 is a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder supplied in 10 mg vials. The lyophilised form offers greater stability than materials in solution and reduces the risk of degradation during storage and transport.

Unreconstituted (dry powder) BPC-157 is kept in a refrigerator at +2 °C to +8 °C, protected from light – under these conditions it remains stable until the stated expiry date. For long-term storage (over 3 months), −20 °C is recommended. The reconstituted solution should be used within 14–30 days and kept refrigerated. Use bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) for reconstitution – it inhibits bacterial growth and extends the stability of the solution. Keep away from light, moisture and temperature fluctuations. Repeated freeze–thaw cycles should be avoided, as they can break down the peptide structure.

In the laboratory, BPC-157 is often studied in combined blends with other peptides used in regeneration research – in the PeptXBio catalogue these are the GLOW and KLOW blends. Such combinations make it possible to study angiogenesis, cell migration and the modulation of inflammation at the same time in in vitro models. Important: all combinations must be studied under controlled laboratory conditions using appropriate in vitro methodologies.
