Premium research-grade IGF-1 LR3 supplied as a lyophilized compound for laboratory research use by qualified professionals. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or animal use.
Classification: Synthetic analog of human Insulin-like Growth Factor-1; specifically an 83 amino acid polypeptide with a substitution of Glutamic Acid for Arginine at position 3 and a 13 amino acid extension at the N-terminus.
Technical Specifications:
Research Context: IGF-1 LR3 is used in preclinical research to examine cellular proliferation, differentiation, and protein synthesis. This specific analog is investigated for its significantly increased potency compared to native IGF-1, attributed to its reduced affinity for IGF-Binding Proteins (IGFBPs). Research models utilize this peptide to study hyperplasia (the creation of new muscle cells), glucose transport into muscle tissue, and the modulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in various experimental systems.
