IGF-1 LR3 1mg
IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Long Arginine 3) is a synthetic analog of human insulin-like growth factor-1 engineered to provide enhanced biological stability and prolonged receptor activity compared to native IGF-1. The molecule contains an arginine substitution at the third amino acid position and an additional 13 amino acids at the N-terminus, modifications that significantly reduce binding to insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) and increase its effective half-life in experimental models.
Due to its enhanced receptor availability, IGF-1 LR3 has become one of the most extensively studied growth factor analogs in cellular growth, protein synthesis, tissue development, and metabolic signaling research. Laboratory investigations frequently evaluate its interaction with the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), activation of the PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways, satellite cell proliferation, cellular differentiation, and growth factor-mediated communication networks.
Researchers commonly utilize IGF-1 LR3 in studies involving skeletal muscle biology, tissue regeneration models, cellular proliferation mechanisms, glucose metabolism pathways, and receptor-mediated anabolic signaling. Its extended activity profile relative to endogenous IGF-1 makes it particularly useful in experimental environments requiring prolonged IGF-1 receptor stimulation and sustained signaling analysis.
Supplied in a 1 mg lyophilized presentation, IGF-1 LR3 is suitable for a variety of analytical and investigational laboratory workflows. Each vial is provided as a white lyophilized powder with purity exceeding 96%, as verified through independent third-party analytical testing. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are provided for available production lots.
