What is IGF-1 DES?
IGF-1 DES is a truncated variant of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 is typically composed of 70 amino acids but IGF-1 DES is a shortened analogue with only 67 amino acids. The first three amino acids that are emitted are Gly-Pro-Glu which are removed through the N-terminus. By shortening the peptide chain IGF-1 becomes 10 times more potent in terms of increasing hypertrophy as well as reducing the binding of IGF-1 binding proteins due to the absence of glutamate.
Increasing the potency is important when it comes to the efficacy of the peptide and maximizing muscle growth. The improved potency comes from the ability of IGF-1 DES to efficiently bind to lactic acid receptors. IGF-1 DES is capable of binding to certain cellular receptors that have been mutated due to the presence of lactic acid, allowing for increased signaling for tissue growth. However, this truncated form of the peptide has a short half-life of only about 20-30 minutes [1].
