IGF-DES – IGF-1 DES(1-3) Analog | 2mg
IGF-DES – IGF-1 DES(1-3) Analog | 2mg Lyophilized Powder | RUO Grade | BlueBiotech® Research Supply
High-Bioactivity IGF-1 Fragment for Myoblast Proliferation, Tissue Regeneration & Short-Term Response Studies | Made in USA | Research Use Only
IGF-DES is a truncated isoform of insulin-like growth factor-1, lacking the first three amino acids (DES(1-3)), resulting in dramatically enhanced receptor affinity and short-term bioactivity. It is widely used in muscle satellite cell research, wound healing models, and localized growth response studies. Supplied as 2mg RUO-grade lyophilized powder. For Research Use Only – Not for human or veterinary use.

IGF-DES | Potent IGF-1 Analog for Muscle Growth & Regeneration Research
Category: Peptides → Growth Factor Research / Muscle Regeneration / IGF Signaling
Keyphrase: IGF-DES peptide
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
🧬 Product Overview
IGF-DES peptide (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 DES(1-3)) is a highly active truncated form of IGF-1 designed to promote localized tissue and muscle regeneration. By deleting the first three amino acids from the N-terminus, IGF-DES has greatly reduced affinity for IGFBPs, allowing for more effective receptor binding and bioavailability. Researchers use IGF-DES in models of muscle hypertrophy, stem cell proliferation, neuroregeneration, and injury recovery.
