IGF-1 LR3 Kit (10 Vials)

IGF-1 LR3 — Modified Insulin-Like Growth Factor for Signal Transduction Research

IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long Arg3) is a synthetic analog of human insulin-like growth factor-1 that has been engineered for enhanced potency and extended biological activity in experimental systems. This 83-amino acid peptide differs from native IGF-1 through substitution of glutamic acid at position 3 with arginine and the addition of a 13-amino acid N-terminal extension peptide. These structural modifications dramatically reduce binding affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), which normally sequester and regulate native IGF-1 in biological fluids.

As a consequence, IGF-1 LR3 exhibits substantially greater bioavailability and prolonged receptor interaction in cell culture systems compared to the wild-type peptide. In laboratory research, IGF-1 LR3 is utilized to study the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling axis, including its downstream activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR and Ras-MAPK pathways — two of the most extensively studied signal transduction cascades in modern cell biology. Researchers investigating cellular proliferation, differentiation, survival signaling, and metabolic regulation employ IGF-1 LR3 as a potent and convenient tool for activating IGF-1R-dependent processes with minimal confounding from IGFBP sequestration.

The peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder with full purity documentation. Coffee & Pepper Peptides provides IGF-1 LR3 for use exclusively in legitimate laboratory research settings. It is not intended for human or animal use.
