IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Long Arg3) is a modified analog of human IGF-1 with an arginine substitution at position 3 and an extended N-terminal sequence of 13 amino acids. These modifications significantly reduce IGF-1’s binding affinity to binding proteins, extending its effective half-life from approximately 15 minutes to 20-30 hours in animal models. Research has examined IGF-1 LR3 for its effects on cellular proliferation, differentiation, and anabolic signaling pathways. For research use only; not approved for human therapeutic application.
Q: Why is IGF-1 LR3 preferred over standard IGF-1 in research?
A: The LR3 modification dramatically reduces binding protein affinity, freeing a greater proportion of the compound to interact with target receptors. The extended half-life also allows research protocols that don’t require frequent dosing to maintain stable IGF-1 receptor activation in study models.
Q: What cellular processes does IGF-1 LR3 affect in preclinical studies?
A: Research has documented IGF-1 LR3’s effects on the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways, both of which mediate cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. In vitro and in vivo models have examined these effects in muscle, adipose, and other tissue types.
Q: How should IGF-1 LR3 be reconstituted for research use?
A: Reconstitute with sterile acetic acid solution (0.1M) or bacteriostatic water per your laboratory protocol. Gently swirl — do not vortex — to dissolve. Use within 30 days of reconstitution when stored at 2-8°C.
