- In cultured rat tendon cells BPC 157 was examined for effects on tendon outgrowth, cell survival and cell migration. (PMID 21030672)
- In tendon fibroblasts isolated from rat Achilles tendon the study measured growth hormone receptor expression. (PMID 25415472)
- In chorioallantoic membrane and endothelial tube-formation assays the study measured vessel formation, and VEGFR2 expression and activation. (PMID 27847966)

Questions about BPC-157
How much published research is there on BPC-157?
The research library's PubMed search for BPC-157 returned 226 records on 5 October 2026, 50 of them reviews. The library lists 8 studies chosen for what they measured. ClinicalTrials.gov lists 4 registered studies naming BPC-157 (checked 5 October 2026).
Is BPC-157 an approved medicine?
No medicinal product containing BPC-157 is listed in Drugs@FDA (checked 5 October 2026), and the research material we supply is not a medicine. It is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use.
Is BPC-157 the same as body protection compound?
BPC-157 is the synthetic 15-residue peptide listed here. The literature describes it as a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC), isolated from human gastric juice. Published work on BPC-157 is mostly rodent and cell-culture research.
How does BPC-157 differ from TB-500?
BPC-157 is a 15-residue synthetic peptide described as a partial sequence of a gastric protein. TB-500 is the name used for synthetic thymosin beta 4, a 43-residue actin-binding peptide. They differ in origin, size and literature, and one rat study has compared each with the combination.
How is the identity of BPC-157 confirmed on a certificate?
A research-grade certificate of analysis typically reports identity by mass spectrometry and purity by HPLC. The mass result is read against the average molecular weight of 1419.5 Da listed on this page. The research library's guide to reading a certificate explains each field.
What other names is BPC-157 published under?
BPC-157 is also written Body Protection Compound 157, PL 14736 and BPC 157. The catalog lists it under the name BPC-157.
Is this product for human use?
No. Peptency products are supplied for in-vitro research only. Not for human or veterinary use, not for diagnosis or therapy.
