About the compound
Pentadecapeptide (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV) — a fragment derived from a human gastric juice protein. C₆₂H₉₈N₁₆O₂₂, MW 1419.55 Da.
BPC-157 is a 15-residue peptide (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV) corresponding to a stable region of an unknown gastric juice protein. The free-acid form has empirical formula C₆₂H₉₈N₁₆O₂₂ with a molecular weight of 1419.55 Da. Its proline-rich N-terminus contributes to acid stability in vitro.
Reconstitution. For in-vitro laboratory handling, dissolve with bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Compound is hygroscopic — handle in low-humidity conditions and re-cap immediately.
Stability profile. Lyophilized: stable at room temperature for up to 30 days sealed; long-term storage at -20 °C recommended. Reconstituted material: stable at 2–8 °C for up to 14 days.
