BPC-157
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide: a single chain of 15 amino acids with the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV). It is a partial sequence derived from a protein identified in gastric juice, and is also referred to as PL 14736 or 'stable gastric pentadecapeptide'.
PurePeptides supplies BPC-157 as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder at greater than 99% purity, intended strictly as a research-grade reference compound for in-vitro laboratory use. The information on this page describes its chemical identity and laboratory handling only, and must not be interpreted as describing any effect in humans or animals.
Research context
BPC-157 is among the more frequently referenced peptides in preclinical research literature, where it appears as the subject of in-vitro and animal-model studies. PurePeptides provides it solely as a research material and makes no claim regarding outcomes, efficacy, or suitability for any human or animal application. Researchers typically cite its purity, molecular identity, amino-acid sequence, and stability when designing experiments.

Reconstitution & storage (laboratory handling)
BPC-157 is water-soluble and is commonly reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for research use. Introduce the solvent slowly against the inner wall of the vial and allow the powder to dissolve without vigorous agitation. Store the lyophilised vial at -20C, protected from light and moisture; once in solution, store refrigerated at 2-8C and minimise freeze-thaw cycles. Use our peptide reconstitution calculator to determine concentration and volumes. This section describes laboratory handling only.
