About this compound
IGF-1 DES
Truncated IGF-1 analogue
IGF-1 DES — des(1-3)IGF-1 — is a form of IGF-1 lacking the first three N-terminal residues, which sharply reduces binding to IGF-binding proteins. It is used as a potent IGF-1-receptor reference ligand in cell-culture research.
IGF-1R agonism with low IGFBP affinity is studied in vitro for proliferation signalling.

IGF-1 DES is the truncated des(1-3) form of insulin-like growth factor 1, supplied by MyPeptides for laboratory research use only.
IGF-1 DES is the truncated des(1-3) form of insulin-like growth factor 1. MyPeptides supplies it as a lyophilised 1 mg vial for in vitro laboratory research, HPLC assayed at ≥99% purity with a signed certificate of analysis on every batch.
Researchers reach for IGF-1 DES in localised IGF-1 research applications. It is offered strictly for laboratory investigation — no personal-use claims, no dosing guidance, and no framing as a medicine.
The point of buying research grade rather than generic material is documentation. Every IGF-1 DES order carries lot-specific HPLC and mass-spec data, so the compound in your protocol matches the compound named on the paperwork. Shorter half-life and altered IGFBP affinity vs LR3 make it useful for local-effect studies.

Consistent batch to batch
Ordered late Monday, arrived Wednesday morning in the UK. Packaging was cold-protected and every vial sealed correctly. CoA matched the batch number on the label.

Great documentation
Third order from MyPeptides. Purity and appearance are consistent across batches. The paperwork is genuinely useful - mass, structure and CAS all included.

Trust these guys
The little details matter - proper cold-chain, tamper-evident seals, and a CoA that actually reads like a lab report and not a marketing sheet.

Vials in perfect condition
Documentation is what sold me. Independent CoA per batch, clean HPLC traces. Reconstitution behaved exactly as expected. Solid supplier for research use.

Arrived quickly, well protected
Support answered a batch question within a few hours over email. Rare to get that level of response from a research supplier. Product itself is exactly to spec.
