IGF-1 LR3 1mg is offered to qualified researchers as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. IGF-1 LR3 (Long Arg3 insulin-like growth factor-1) is a recombinant 83-amino-acid analog of IGF-1 with an arginine substitution at position 3 and an N-terminal extension, widely used in cell-culture research.
Research background
- The LR3 modification gives IGF-1 LR3 reduced binding to IGF binding proteins compared with native IGF-1, and an extended half-life reported at 20-30 hours in research settings.
- IGF-1 LR3 binds IGF-1 receptors and activates growth-promoting signaling pathways such as PI3K-AKT-mTOR.
- It is widely used in cell-culture and preclinical studies of cell proliferation, differentiation and muscle-cell signaling.
- Researchers note that its insulin-like activity can lower blood glucose in experimental models, a consideration in study design.
Format and quantity
