Compound overview

Product specifications, research context, and handling information.

IGF-1 DES

IGF-1 DES, also written des(1–3)IGF-1, is an IGF-1 analog lacking the first three N-terminal amino acids.

Cell-culture research examines receptor signaling, binding-protein interactions, and growth-related cellular responses. This listing is supplied as a kit of 10 vials, with per-vial amounts shown in Product Details.

Key Research Areas

  • IGF-1 receptor responses
  • IGF-binding protein interactions
  • Cell-culture growth models
  • Truncated growth-factor comparisons

Mechanism of Interest

Removing the first three residues reduces interaction with some IGF-binding proteins while retaining IGF receptor activity. The resulting response depends on the binding proteins and cells present.

Product Details

Format: Kit of 10 vials
Available Options: 2 mg per vial × 10 vials = 20 mg per kit
Compound Class: Truncated insulin-like growth factor-1 analog
Compound: IGF-1 DES
Storage: Follow the product label and lot-specific storage instructions. Prepared-sample storage depends on formulation and validated laboratory stability conditions.

How Structure Shapes IGF Activity

Removing the first three amino acids of IGF-1 changes its interaction with binding proteins. IGF-1 DES research examines how this structural difference affects growth-factor availability and cellular responses.
