IGF-DES (0.1mg)

$140.00

In stock (can be backordered)

SKU: YPB.286 Categories: ,

Description

A single-component research material supplied for controlled research environments. IGF-DES (0.1 mg) is a truncated recombinant analog of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 lacking the N-terminal tripeptide (Gly-Pro-Glu), studied for its potential role in IGF-1 receptor signaling, cell proliferation research, and growth factor binding protein interaction studies in model systems.

Composition

• Des(1-3) IGF-1 (IGF-DES), 67 amino acids • Appearance: Lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial

Research Focus (non-clinical)

• Protein identity and purity assessment via HPLC/LC-MS and SDS-PAGE • Studies on IGF-1 receptor binding kinetics and downstream Akt/mTOR signal transduction in cell culture models • Exploration of IGF-DES's significantly reduced IGFBP binding affinity and enhanced free-fraction bioavailability relative to native IGF-1 in laboratory assays • Stability and reconstitution profiling of IGF-DES under laboratory storage conditions For qualified research professionals and institutional laboratories. Not for human use.

Documentation & Quality Assurance

Each lot is sourced through our verified global supply chain with emphasis on traceability and quality control. We work diligently to obtain and maintain third-party analytical reports (HPLC/LC-MS) and Certificates of Analysis for each batch, as part of our ongoing quality process. These documents are reviewed internally and displayed as they become available.

Important Notice

This product is intended for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, and must not be used for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical purposes. This material is not a drug, medical device, or dietary supplement, and has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Quality & Manufacturing

We work directly with the manufacturers. Each supplier is reviewed for reliability, documentation integrity, and transparency in testing. Our minimum purity standard is 98%. Every batch we ship has its own certificate of analysis, and every certificate confirms identity, purity and net content. Where available, endotoxin testing results are included on Certificates of Analysis to verify laboratory purity; their inclusion is for research quality assessment only and does not imply suitability for human or veterinary use. All research materials are sealed for integrity and packaged for stability during storage and transport from manufacturing through final delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our research-grade peptides and quality standards.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids. They serve as the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes.

Research peptides are synthesized versions of naturally occurring peptides, manufactured to precise specifications for use in scientific studies.

Key characteristics: High purity (minimum 98%), lyophilized form for stability, and accompanied by Certificates of Analysis (COA).

Peptide purity refers to the percentage of the target peptide present in a sample, measured via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Our Standard: Our minimum purity standard is 98%, and every certificate of analysis comes from an independent third-party lab.

Higher purity is critical for research because impurities can interfere with experimental results and compromise the reproducibility of studies.

All products are supplied in lyophilized powder form within sterile, sealed vials. This format provides:

  • Maximum stability: Extended shelf life compared to liquid solutions
  • Precise measurement: Researchers can work with desired quantities
  • Contamination protection: Sealed vials prevent environmental exposure
  • Shipping durability: Powder form is more stable during transit

Lyophilized peptides:

  • Store at -4°F for long-term storage (up to 24 months)
  • Store at 36-46°F (refrigerated) for short-term storage (up to 3 months)
  • Keep away from light, moisture, and repeated temperature fluctuations

We supply research-grade peptides to:

  • Academic and university research laboratories
  • Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
  • Independent research institutions
  • Licensed professionals conducting legitimate scientific research

We maintain rigorous quality control through a multi-step verification process:

  • HPLC Analysis: Confirms a minimum of 98% purity on each certificate
  • Mass Spectrometry: Molecular weight confirmation for peptide identity
  • Third-Party Testing: Independent laboratory verification
  • Sterility Protocols: Aseptic handling and packaging procedures
  • Batch Documentation: Complete traceability from synthesis to delivery

"Research Use Only" (RUO) is a classification indicating that a product is intended exclusively for laboratory research and experimental investigation.
