IGF-LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, Long Arg3) is a research-grade synthetic analogue of human IGF-1 modified with a 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension and an arginine substitution at position 3. These two modifications dramatically reduce affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), extending its functional half-life and increasing receptor availability in research settings. It is one of the most extensively studied IGF-1 analogues in cellular proliferation and anabolic signalling research.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of using IGF1-LR3 in cellular proliferation research?
IGF1-LR3 enhances cellular proliferation and myoblast differentiation due to its extended half-life and increased receptor availability, making it ideal for growth factor research and cell growth studies.
How does IGF1-LR3's modification improve its performance in receptor binding studies?
The arginine substitution and N-terminal extension in IGF1-LR3 reduce its affinity for IGF-binding proteins, resulting in improved receptor binding kinetics and more accurate receptor binding studies.
What should I consider when storing IGF1-LR3 to maintain its stability?
Store IGF1-LR3 lyophilised powder at -20°C, protected from light and moisture to preserve its purity and activity for research applications. Proper storage ensures consistent experimental results.
