IGF-DES

IGF-DES (IGF-1 DES 1-3) – Product Description

IGF-DES, also known as IGF-1 DES (1-3), is a truncated analogue of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) consisting of 67 amino acids. This peptide is produced by removing the first three amino acids from native IGF-1, resulting in significantly reduced binding to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and enhanced biological activity in research models.

IGF-DES is widely utilized in studies involving cellular growth, tissue regeneration, muscle biology, and growth factor signaling pathways. Due to its increased bioavailability and receptor affinity compared to native IGF-1, it is a valuable tool for investigating mechanisms of cell proliferation and differentiation. The product is supplied as a highly purified lyophilized powder suitable for research applications.
