DES (1-3) IGF

Des(1-3) IGF-1 is a variant of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a hormone that plays a key role in growth and development, especially in muscle tissue. The designation “Des(1-3)” indicates that this form of IGF-1 is missing the first three amino acids of the IGF-1 protein, making it significantly more potent than regular IGF-1. This modification allows Des(1-3) IGF-1 to bind more effectively to IGF receptors and remain active longer in the body, leading to enhanced cell growth and regeneration.
