QRP Research IGF-1 LR3 1mg
IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3 Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1) is a synthetic analogue of native insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), developed for experimental investigation of IGF signalling, receptor activation and growth-factor biology.
IGF-1 LR3 differs structurally from native IGF-1 through an arginine substitution at position 3 and an additional 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension. These modifications substantially reduce its affinity for insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), making it a useful research analogue for investigating IGF activity and growth-factor signalling.
The compound has been investigated in laboratory and preclinical models examining IGF-1 receptor signalling, cellular proliferation, differentiation, metabolism and growth-factor regulation.
QRP Research IGF-1 LR3 1mg is supplied as a lyophilised research material intended exclusively for controlled laboratory, analytical and scientific investigation.
Key Research Areas
IGF-1 LR3 has been investigated experimentally in relation to:
IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signalling
IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) interactions
Cellular proliferation and differentiation
PI3K/Akt and related intracellular signalling pathways
Growth-factor receptor biology
Cellular metabolism and nutrient signalling
Protein synthesis and cellular growth mechanisms
Tissue and cell-culture research
IGF bioavailability mechanisms
Comparison with native IGF-1
A particularly important characteristic of IGF-1 LR3 in research is its markedly reduced affinity for IGF-binding proteins compared with native IGF-1. This characteristic makes the compound particularly useful for experimental investigation of how IGFBPs influence IGF bioavailability and biological activity.
Research findings involving IGF-1 LR3 should not be interpreted as evidence of established therapeutic, muscle-building, performance-enhancing or other clinical effects in humans.
