Synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from gastric protective protein research.
BPC-157 is a 15–amino acid peptide fragment originating from a protein found in gastric juice. It is classified as a stable body protection compound in peptide chemistry literature.
The peptide exhibits unusual stability in acidic and enzymatic environments, which differentiates it from many short-chain peptides.
Research literature references BPC-157 in experimental models focusing on cellular signaling, peptide stability, and molecular communication pathways.
Frequently cited in peptide stability research, gastrointestinal peptide studies, and signaling pathway exploration.
