Peptides

IGF-1 DES 1 mg

IGF-1 DES (DES(1–3) IGF-1) is a highly potent, truncated analogue of native Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1. By removing the first three amino acids from the IGF-1 sequence, IGF-1 DES exhibits dramatically reduced binding to IGF-binding proteins, resulting in increased receptor activation, enhanced bioavailability, and strong localized anabolic effects. Researchers utilize IGF-1 DES in studies involving cellular proliferation, muscle hypertrophy, tissue regeneration, wound healing, and localized anabolic signaling. IGF-1 DES is especially valued for models requiring short-acting, site-specific activation of the IGF-1 pathway.

Key Benefits

(Observed in controlled research and preclinical models)

Highly Potent Cellular Activation: Stronger IGF-1 receptor affinity than native IGF-1 or LR3.
Localized Anabolic Research: Short-acting, tissue-targeted activity ideal for regional regeneration models.
Muscle Growth Studies: Supports research into satellite-cell activation, protein synthesis, and myoblast proliferation.
Tissue Repair & Healing: Useful for investigating tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue recovery.
Cellular Growth & Differentiation: Enables exploration of cell-cycle progression, differentiation, and repair mechanisms.
Synergistic Regeneration Models: Often paired with MGF or PEG-MGF for sequential anabolic response studies.

Potential Side Effects

(Typically mild and dose-dependent in laboratory environments)

Temporary redness or irritation at administration sites
Mild fatigue
Occasional headache
Rare short-term hypoglycemia in metabolic studies
Localized muscle tightness or fullness in regenerative models

Responses vary depending on biological model, concentration, and protocol design.

Storage & Stability

Store lyophilized peptide at 2–8°C for short-term use.
For long-term storage, keep at –20°C, protected from light and moisture.
After reconstitution, maintain at 2–8°C and use within the recommended stability period.
