Background
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-residue peptide whose sequence is a partial fragment of a larger protein, called body protection compound (BPC), isolated from human gastric juice. It was first described by Predrag Sikirić and colleagues at the University of Zagreb in the early 1990s.
Storage and handling
Store sealed vials at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Let a vial reach room temperature before opening so condensation doesn't form on the powder. Use standard laboratory PPE and dispose of material as chemical waste under local rules.
