IGF-DES
Des(1-3) IGF-1 is a truncated analog of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), consisting of 67 amino acids and missing the first three N-terminal residues. This structural modification reduces its affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), allowing for significantly increased biological activity. It is supplied in liquid form with a purity level of ≥99%, and is intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory research.

Overview
Des(1-3) IGF-1 is being studied for its potent anabolic and regenerative effects, particularly in muscle growth, organ development, and gastrointestinal tissue repair. Its reduced binding to IGFBPs increases its availability to IGF-1 receptors, enhancing its research utility compared to native IGF-1.
Product Research
-
Enhanced Cellular Proliferation
Des(1-3) IGF-1 has demonstrated approximately 10 times the potency of native IGF-1 in stimulating hypertrophy and proliferation in cultured cells due to its diminished IGFBP binding [1].
-
Anabolic Effects In Vivo
In GH-deficient lit/lit mice, administration of Des(1-3) IGF-1 significantly increased body and organ weights, confirming its role as a potent anabolic agent in growth and tissue development research [2].
-
Intestinal Adaptation Post-Resection
In a rat model of extensive bowel resection, Des(1-3) IGF-1 improved weight gain and nitrogen retention, suggesting its utility in studying gastrointestinal repair and adaptation [3].
-
IGF Axis Modulation in Muscle Tissue
Des(1-3) IGF-1 was found to reduce IGFBP-3 levels in cultured porcine myogenic cells, indicating it may play a role in promoting differentiation and muscle cell maturation [4].
-
Research in Cancer Cell Biology
Des(1-3) IGF-1 has been shown to mimic IGF-II activity in colon carcinoma cells, promoting differentiation and offering a model to study growth factor regulation in cancer [5].
