Background

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) belonged to the insulin gene family, are mitogenic polypeptide growth factors that stimulate the proliferation and survival of various cell types including muscle, bone, and cartilage tissue in vitro. The IGFs are similar by structure and function to insulin, but have a much higher growth-promoting activity than insulin. IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine hormone as well as in target tissues in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. Mature human IGF-1 shares 94% and 96% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IGF-1, respectively, and exhibits cross-species activity. Des1-3IGF-1, is a truncated variant of human IGF-1 with the tripeptide Gly-Pro-Glu absent from the N-terminus. The des1-3IGF-1 probably results from post-translational cleavage of IGF-1. It has about 10-fold more potent than IGF-1 at stimulating hypertrophy and proliferation of cultured cells, a consequence of much reduced binding to IGF-binding proteins, in turn caused by the absence of the glutamate at position 3. Recombinant human des1-3IGF-1 is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 67 amino acids..
