IGF-DES (1-3) – 2 mg

IGF-DES (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 DES 1-3) is a truncated analog of IGF-1, lacking the first three amino acids of the native sequence. In laboratory and preclinical research settings, IGF-DES is studied for its receptor-binding characteristics and localized cellular signaling behavior, particularly in models examining cell growth, differentiation, and tissue-level signaling pathways.

Compared to full-length IGF-1, IGF-DES demonstrates reduced binding affinity to IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) in research models, making it of interest in studies focused on short-range, localized peptide signaling and receptor activation dynamics. Research environments commonly examine IGF-DES for its interactions with IGF-1 receptors (IGF-1R) and downstream intracellular signaling cascades.

Ongoing studies continue to explore IGF-DES in the context of cellular communication, peptide-receptor specificity, and molecular signaling efficiency. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory and research purposes only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
