BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids, modeled after a sequence found in Body Protection Compound. The oral formulation is commonly used in laboratory environments to study stability, degradation pathways, and peptide behavior within gastrointestinal models.
Research frequently examines Oral BPC-157 for its role in angiogenic signaling, cellular repair pathways, oxidative-stress modulation, and extracellular matrix interactions. Preclinical studies also use this form to investigate how orally administered peptides withstand enzymatic conditions, interact with epithelial structures, and influence gut-related biochemical processes.
Because of its stability under varying pH conditions, Oral BPC-157 is often selected for experiments exploring peptide absorption, transport mechanisms, and gastrointestinal tissue models.
Primary Research Areas:
- Gastrointestinal peptide stability models
