BPC 157

Description

Overview

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids. Originally derived from a natural protective compound found in gastric juices, it is known for its exceptional stability and research value in studies exploring tissue repair, angiogenesis, and gastrointestinal protection.

This peptide has been widely used in laboratory settings to investigate mechanisms related to cellular growth, inflammatory modulation, and regenerative processes in various tissue models.
