IGF-DES
IGF-DES is a truncated variant of IGF-1 lacking the first three N-terminal amino acids, studied for its reduced binding-protein affinity and enhanced local receptor activity.
Research Applications
- IGF-1 receptor signalling with reduced IGFBP interference
- Localised growth-factor activity research
- Comparative research against full-length IGF-1 and IGF-1 LR3
