What Is BPC-157?
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a stable gastric pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids with a molecular formula of C62H98N16O22 and molecular weight of 1419.54. Derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice, BPC-157 has become one of the most extensively studied peptides for tissue repair, angiogenesis, and cytoprotection across multiple organ systems.
Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 promotes healing through several interconnected mechanisms. It upregulates growth factor expression including VEGF for angiogenesis. It modulates the nitric oxide system to enhance blood flow to damaged tissues. It promotes fibroblast migration and collagen deposition at wound sites. It protects endothelial cells and maintains vascular integrity. This multi-pathway approach makes BPC-157 remarkably versatile across different tissue types.
Key Specifications at G25
G25 BPC-157 is supplied as a white lyophilized powder with purity exceeding 99 percent verified by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry. Available in 5mg and 10mg vial sizes. Physical properties include density of 1.4 g per cubic centimeter, boiling point of 1802.9 degrees Celsius, and refractive index of 1.576.
Research Applications
BPC-157 supports investigations in wound healing and tissue regeneration, angiogenesis and vascular repair, gastrointestinal mucosal protection and healing, tendon and ligament repair, bone healing, neuroprotection and central nervous system repair, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
Stability and Handling
BPC-157 is remarkably resistant to degradation in gastric acid, making it suitable for both oral and injectable research administration routes. This stability distinguishes it from many endogenous peptides that degrade rapidly in the gastrointestinal environment.
