Product Overview

IGF-1 DES, also known as des-N-(1-3) IGF-1, is a shortened version of IGF-1, lacking the first three N-terminal amino acids. This modification significantly changes its biological behavior, reducing its binding to Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs), which typically control IGF-1's bioavailability. With this weaker IGFBP binding, IGF-1 DES achieves higher local concentrations, enhancing its potency. This heightened bioactivity makes IGF-1 DES particularly interesting for research in the nervous system, where it may support neurological recovery and cellular regeneration.

How is IGF-1 DES different from standard IGF-1?
IGF-1 DES has a truncated structure that reduces its binding to IGFBPs, allowing it to achieve higher local bioactivity.

What does the "DES" in IGF-1 DES stand for?
"DES" refers to "des-N-(1-3)," indicating the removal of the first three amino acids from the IGF-1 sequence.
