BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide — a chain of 15 amino acids — whose sequence corresponds to a partial region of a protein identified in gastric juice.
Structural features
Its short length and notable stability are central to why it is used so widely in research: it survives handling and reconstitution well and is straightforward to synthesize. That stability, and its gastric-protein origin, are covered in its discovery and history.
How it is made
BPC-157 is produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis, building the 15-residue chain one amino acid at a time, then cleaved and purified. Identity and purity are confirmed by HPLC and mass spectrometry. For the biology, see its mechanism of action.
