Product description
IGF-1 DES is a truncated, naturally occurring isoform of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), characterized by the removal of the N-terminal tripeptide (Des(1–3) IGF-1). This modification significantly enhances its bioavailability and receptor binding affinity, making it more potent in research applications compared to standard IGF-1.
IGF-1 DES is naturally found in the brain, breast milk, and uterine tissue, where it plays a key role in promoting cellular hypertrophy and hyperplasia across various cell types. Ongoing scientific studies are investigating its potential roles in supporting neural repair, synaptic maintenance, and muscle and connective tissue regeneration.
Preclinical research also suggests possible applications in the study of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autism spectrum disorders, and neurological dysfunctions, where IGF-1 DES may contribute to improved cell signaling and tissue resilience.
