The Eagle Bioscience’s Human Des [1-3] IGF-I is for research use only and not to be used for diagnostic procedures.
Product Specifications
Source:
IGF-I is produced in E.coli using a patented expression system and the IGF-I is correctly folded and purified by several chromatography steps to yield Receptor Grade IGF-I.
Description:
Human Des [1-3] insulin-like Growth Factor-I is a 67 amino acid analogue of human IGF-I lacking the N-terminal tripeptide Gly-Pro-Glu. Human Des [1-3] IGF-I is more potent than IGF-I in vitro and in vivo. This increased potency is due to reduced binding of it to most of the IGF binding proteins which modify the biological actions of IGF-I. This product binds to the type 1 IGF receptor with similar affinity to wild type IGF-I. This is a high quality research reagent for use in studies on cell growth, IGF receptors and IGF binding proteins.
