IGF-1 DES
PH-IGFDES-001
Specifications
Description
IGF-1 DES is a high-purity (≥99%) truncated insulin-like growth factor-1 with a molecular weight of 7365.4 Da. This 67-amino acid variant lacks the N-terminal tripeptide, resulting in enhanced receptor binding activity. Supplied as a lyophilized powder, store at -20°C protected from light. Used in growth factor receptor research and cellular proliferation studies.
