- Des(1-3)IGF-I: a truncated form of insulin-like growth factor-I PubMed ↗
Des(1-3)IGF-I, a truncated variant of human IGF-I with the tripeptide Gly-Pro-Glu absent from the N-terminus, has been isolated from bovine colostrum, human brain and porcine uterus. This protein probably results from post-translational…
- Enhanced potency of truncated insulin-like growth factor-I (des(1-3)IGF-I) relative to IGF-I in lit/lit mice PubMed ↗
The relative potencies of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and the N-terminal truncated derivative, des(1-3)IGF-I, have been compared in lit/lit mice. Injection of 30 micrograms IGF-I, 30 micrograms des(1-3)IGF-I or 3 micrograms…
