BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids, with the primary sequence: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val Derived from a highly stable, naturally occurring protein fragment isolated from gastric juice, this peptide is engineered via solid-phase synthesis for structural stability in laboratory environments
Insulin receptor substrate proteins, chiefly IRS-1, are recruited and phosphorylated, providing binding sites for the regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and leading through PIP3 and PDK1 to Akt, and onward to mTOR complex 1, GSK-3 and the FoxO transcription factors
