Quick Summary
A truncated IGF-1 variant missing its first three amino acids, studied in cell culture. Available from 3 vendors, priced from $28.00 to $196.05.
Research: In cell culture, des(1-3)IGF-1 is about 10-fold more potent than native IGF-1 (Adashi et al, J Clin Invest 1992; Park et al, Endocrinology 1992). That is NOT stronger receptor binding: the gain appears only where IGF-binding proteins are present and disappears once they are depleted, so what the variant does is evade sequestration by those proteins. The half-life figure previously given here was unsourced and has been removed.
Side effects: No human adverse event table has been published
Research compoundCell culture data only; not approved for human use
