Product Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of the body protection compound (BPC) that is naturally discovered in and isolated from human gastric juice.
This peptide is highly regarded in the scientific community for its stability and its role in cellular signaling pathways related to tissue remodeling and cytoprotection. Unlike many other peptides, BPC-157 acts without binding to classic androgen or estrogen receptors, making it a unique subject for research into angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) and fibroblast migration.
Quality Assurance
This compound has undergone rigorous third-party analysis to ensure it meets the highest standards for laboratory use.
- HPLC Verified: Independent analysis confirms peptide purity exceeds 99%.
- Mass Spectrometry: Confirms accurate molecular weight (approx. 1419.5 Da) and amino acid sequence.
- TFA Removal: Processed via acetate exchange to remove inflammatory trifluoroacetic acid salts, ensuring high viability in sensitive cell culture applications.
Research Mechanism
In laboratory settings, BPC-157 is utilised to investigate:
- Angiogenesis: The upregulation of the VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) pathway to promote new blood vessel formation.
- Fibroblast Kinetics: The acceleration of fibroblast migration and proliferation in tendon and ligament tissue models.
- Nitric Oxide Modulation: The interaction with the NO system to protect endothelial tissue from oxidative stress and toxin-induced damage.
Safety and Handling
WARNING: This product is exclusively for laboratory research and in vitro use.
- Research Only: Not intended for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
- Handling: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and safety eyewear.
Storage: Store lyophilised vials in a cool, dry place. For long-term preservation, freezing at -20°C is recommended.
