    Summary
    Nanomolar concentrations of des-(1-3)-IGF-I induce HT29-D4 cells to develop into a differentiated phenotype, as judged by a substantial carcinoembryonic antigen release and the induction of numerous intercellular cysts with well-organized microvilli.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, IGF-1 DES (des(1-3)IGF-I) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking IGF-1 DES (des(1-3)IGF-I).

    In HT29-D4 cultures, none of the secreted IGFBP molecular forms bound des-(1-3)-IGF-I.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, the binding proteins secreted by HT29-D4 cells did not bind des-(1-3)-IGF-I.

    Summary
    All the HT29-D4 IGFBP molecular forms are unable to bind the N-terminally truncated IGF-I analog, des-(1-3)-IGF-I.

    In this study, IGF-1 DES (des(1-3)IGF-I) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking IGF-1 DES (des(1-3)IGF-I).
