BPC-157
What the molecule is, where the sequence comes from, and what it binds. This page does not describe what BPC-157 does.
Structure
What BPC-157 is
Origin. A synthetic 15-residue sequence corresponding to a partial fragment of a protein isolated from gastric juice.
Molecular target. No single receptor has been established for it in the literature. It is characterized structurally rather than by a defined binding partner.
Both statements are facts about the molecule and can be checked against any reference database. Neither is a statement about an outcome, and this page makes none.
