Description
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a partial sequence of a protective protein isolated from human gastric juice. Composed of 15 amino acids, this pentadecapeptide is a primary focus in regenerative medicine, tissue repair, and cytoprotection research.
Unlike metabolic or hormonal peptides, BPC-157 is extensively investigated in laboratory models for its unique potential to accelerate the healing cascades of musculoskeletal tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and skeletal muscle. Investigators frequently utilize BPC-157 to examine cellular mechanisms involved in localized angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and soft-tissue remodeling.

Primary Research Applications
This high-purity stable pentadecapeptide reagent is engineered to support quantitative preclinical studies, focusing on:
-
Angiogenesis Modulation: Investigating upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathways and neo-vascularization.
-
Fibroblast Proliferation: Evaluating the migration and survival of fibroblasts involved in tendon-to-bone healing models.
-
Nitric Oxide Pathways: Studying the balancing effects of the peptide on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity during tissue stress.
-
Gastrointestinal Cytoprotection: Exploring mucosal integrity preservation and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cellular pathways.
Handling & Storage Guidelines
-
Reconstitution: Highly soluble in sterile Bacteriostatic Water or normal saline. Dissolve using gentle, slow rotation. Avoid vigorous shaking, which can disrupt the peptide’s structural integrity.
-
Storage Temperature: Store in a stable, moisture-controlled environment at -20°C for long-term storage. To protect the compound from structural degradation caused by repetitive temperature fluctuations, aliquot into smaller working volumes post-reconstitution.
