BPC-157 — living evidence map

The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.

Summary

BPC 157 is a 15-amino-acid partial sequence of body protection compound, a protein discovered in and isolated from human gastric juice. · pmid:21030672

Mechanism

In rat tendon fibroblasts it accelerated outgrowth and migration and raised FAK and paxillin phosphorylation without directly changing proliferation. · pmid:21030672

A review by its originating group relates its healing effects across many injury models to an interaction with the nitric oxide system. · pmid:23755725

History

In rats it protected the stomach and duodenum in restraint-stress, cysteamine and ethanol lesion models where comparison drugs did not, an effect the authors related to endothelial protection. · pmid:7904712

Identity

PubChem CID 9941957: Bpc-157, C62H98N16O22, 1419.5 g/mol. · pubchem:9941957

CAS registry number 137525-51-0. · pubchem:9941957

Structure

No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for BPC-157 yet.

Dose evidence, rung by rung

No established safe human dose. Nothing on file establishes one. That is a statement about the evidence PepJunkie holds, not a promise about the molecule.
