Active Recombinant Human Des(1-3)Insulin-like Growth Factor 1

• Cat.No.: IGF1-325H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human Des(1-3)Insulin-like Growth Factor1 (IGF1) was produced recombinantly.

Specification

• Cat. No.: IGF1-325H
• Description: Human Des(1-3)Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) is a 67 amino acid analog of human IGF-I lacking the N-terminal tripeptide Gly-Pro-Glu. Human Des(1-3)IGF1 is more potent than IGF1 in vitro and in vivo. This increased potency is due to reduced binding of human Des(1-3)IGF1 to most of the IGF binding proteins which normally inhibit the biological actions of IGF1. Human Des(1-3)IGF1 binds to the Type 1 IGF receptor with similar affinity to full length IGF1. This is a high quality reagent for use in studies on cell growth, IGF receptors and IGFBPs.
