Product Overview

IGF-DES is a truncated IGF-1 lacking the first 3 amino acids. Virtually no IGFBP binding — the most potent IGF-1 form available for studying isolated receptor activation without binding protein interference.

Research Applications

  • Truncated IGF-1 with N-terminal tripeptide deletion
  • Virtually zero IGFBP binding — maximal bioavailability
  • ~10× more potent than native IGF-1 in receptor activation
  • Endogenous form identified in human brain tissue
  • Full agonist at IGF1R, cross-reactivity with IR-A at high concentrations

Key Features

  • ≥99% purity confirmed by RP-HPLC and ESI-MS
  • For laboratory research use only
