What is IGF-DES?
IGF-DES is an N-terminally truncated IGF-1 analogue with low affinity for IGF binding proteins. Because of this it is used to study IGF-1 receptor activation without the confounding buffer effect of the binding-protein pool.
Mechanism of action
Removal of the first three N-terminal residues sharply reduces IGF binding protein affinity, increasing free receptor availability locally.
Primary research areas
IGF binding protein biology, localised IGF-1 receptor signalling.
Research notes
- Short half-life makes it a tool for acute rather than chronic exposure models.
- Compared against IGF-1 LR3, which instead extends exposure.
- Strictly for laboratory research use — not for human or veterinary application.

Great Customer Service. Website easy to navigate & very informative. Lots of reading material available on all the various peptides. Provided a swift & informative response to all my enquiries.
Patricia ThomasGoogle reviewWas this helpful?Great quality and trusted
Very great service great quality and trusted I've tested the quality
Andrew SiblyGoogle reviewWas this helpful?Results matched the COA reports
Trust is everything when buying research peptides, and this company exceeded my expectations. My order arrived quickly, communication was excellent, and I independently tested the peptides myself. The results matched the COA reports exactly, which gave me complete confidence in the quality and transparency of their products. Highly recommended.
