3 min read•Published 2025-01-19•Quality Peptide USA Research
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a stable synthetic pentadecapeptide originally derived from a protective protein identified in gastric juice. It is one of the most heavily studied research peptides in the soft-tissue and gastrointestinal literature. This guide covers sequence & structure for BPC-157 — written for laboratory researchers sourcing US-synthesized peptides from Quality Peptide USA.
Primary Sequence
The primary sequence of BPC-157 is recorded as: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val. Sequence integrity is verified during release testing using analytical reverse-phase HPLC compared against a reference standard, with mass spectrometry confirming the expected molecular ion.
Molecular Formula and Weight
BPC-157 carries the molecular formula C62H98N16O22 and a calculated monoisotopic weight of approximately ≈ 1419.55 g/mol. These values are essential for accurate molar-concentration calculations during reconstitution and for normalizing dose curves across studies.
Identifiers and Synonyms
CAS Registry: 137525-51-0. Common synonyms include PL 14736, Bepecin. When searching publications, querying both the common and chemical names typically surfaces the broadest body of work.
Structural Notes for Researchers
BPC-157 is supplied as a lyophilized solid with a white to off-white appearance. Researchers should reconstitute in sterile bacteriostatic water unless their assay calls for a specific buffer (e.g., 0.1% acetic acid for hydrophobic peptides). Quality Peptide USA publishes the full chemical-identity card on every product page so that incoming-QC checks can be performed against a known reference.
