Technical specifications
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-residue peptide whose sequence corresponds to a fragment of body protection compound, a protein sequence described in human gastric juice. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a 10 mg vial and filed in the catalogue under regenerative biology, with Body Protection Compound and PL 14736 listed as synonyms for the same sequence. The peptide has been the subject of published laboratory and preclinical research since the 1990s, and it also serves as a reference sequence in peptide-chemistry and analytical method work.
In single-letter notation the sequence is written GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, a pentadecapeptide with a proline-rich central region and adjacent acidic aspartate residues. It is catalogued under CAS 137525-51-0 with the molecular formula C62H98N16O22 and a molecular weight of 1419.50 g/mol, and no salt form or terminal modification is recorded for this entry. That molecular weight is the expected mass used in identity testing.
Lyophilized material is held at -20 C protected from light; reconstituted solution is held at 2 to 8 C for short-term laboratory use, with repeated freeze-thaw cycling avoided. Purity and identity are verified by third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry, with a certificate of analysis per lot. This material is supplied strictly for laboratory research and is not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently asked
Questions about BPC-157
What purity is BPC-157 supplied at, and is a Certificate of Analysis available?
Yes. Each lot of BPC-157 is tested by a third-party laboratory using HPLC for purity, and the certificate of analysis for the current lot is linked on this page and in the certificate library.
How is the identity of BPC-157 verified?
Identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry against the expected molecular weight of 1419.50 g/mol, alongside HPLC retention behaviour. Both results are recorded on the lot certificate.
How should BPC-157 be stored on receipt?
Lyophilized: -20°C (Protect from light); Reconstituted: 2-8°C.
Where is BPC-157 shipped from?
Orders ship from the United States in discreet, tracked packaging. Shipping is available to US addresses only.
Is BPC-157 supplied for research use only?
Yes. BPC-157 is sold strictly as a laboratory research material. It is not for human or veterinary use, not for diagnostic procedures, and has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. See the research use disclaimer for the full terms.
