IGF-1LR3 — Powder

IGF-1 LR3 Lyophilized Powder – Vial – Research Use Only

IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic, long-acting analog of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a critical peptide hormone involved in growth and metabolic signaling. Engineered with an arginine substitution at position 3 and a 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension, this analog is studied for its significantly increased stability and biological potency compared to native IGF-1.

In laboratory research, scientists investigate how IGF-1 LR3 binds to IGF-1 receptors, promoting pathways related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It is frequently used in studies exploring muscle cell growth (both hyperplasia and hypertrophy), tissue repair, and metabolic regulation.

Researchers commonly study IGF-1 LR3 for its potential involvement in:

• Muscle cell hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and protein synthesis pathways
• Tissue regeneration and recovery mechanisms
• Metabolic processes including glucose uptake, lipolysis, and nutrient partitioning
• Cellular growth, differentiation, and anti-catabolic signaling
• Overall anabolic and regenerative responses in various tissue models

As a modified growth factor peptide, IGF-1 LR3 serves as a valuable tool for investigating endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine signaling in controlled research settings.
