What is IGF-1 DES?
IGF-1 DES (Des(1-3) IGF-1) is a truncated form of IGF-1 missing the first 3 amino acids. This modification eliminates binding to IGFBPs (IGF Binding Proteins), resulting in a compound approximately 10x more potent than full-length IGF-1 because 100% of the peptide remains bioavailable for receptor activation.
Frequently Asked Questions
IGF-1 DES vs IGF-1 LR3?
IGF-1 DES lacks 3 N-terminal amino acids, making it 10x more potent but shorter-acting. IGF-1 LR3 has an extended half-life due to reduced IGFBP binding but is less potent per molecule.
