About the molecule
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide related to a “Body Protection Compound” originally identified in gastric juice. It is often described in the literature as a stable gastric pentadecapeptide.
Research context
BPC-157 has been studied in preclinical models of cell migration and angiogenic and nitric-oxide signaling, including VEGFR2, Akt–eNOS, and ERK1/2 pathways. Human evidence remains limited, and the compound is investigational. This is neutral reference information about what has been examined in the literature; it is not a statement of effect in humans.
