BPC-157

What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a partial sequence of human gastric juice protein. With the molecular formula C₆₂H₉₈N₁₆O₂₂ and a molecular weight of 1419.56 g/mol (CAS: 137525-51-0), BPC-157 consists of 15 amino acids. Published research has characterized its interactions with the nitric oxide system, GABAergic pathways, and dopaminergic systems in preclinical tissue models.
