IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic, recombinant analog of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), featuring a 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension and an arginine substitution at position 3. These modifications reduce binding to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), extending its half-life up to 120 times longer than native IGF-1 while enhancing bioavailability and receptor affinity. This research-grade lyophilized powder is synthesized under strict quality controls and provided with full analytical documentation, ideal for in vitro cell culture, muscle physiology, and metabolic research.

Key Scientific

  • High-purity IGF-1 LR3 (≥ 98% by HPLC/MS, receptor-grade where specified)
  • Verified 83-amino-acid sequence with N-terminal extension (MFPAMPLLSLFVN) and Arg3 substitution
  • Lyophilized formulation for enhanced long-term stability
  • Full Certificate of Analysis (COA) included with every batch (HPLC, MS, amino acid analysis)
  • Manufactured in a controlled, GMP-aligned facility
  • Ideal for cell proliferation, myogenesis, and IGF-1 receptor signaling studies

Research-Referenced Attributes (Based on scientific literature; not intended as therapeutic claims.)

  • Promotes cell division, hypertrophy, and differentiation in muscle, bone, and connective tissues
  • Enhances fat metabolism and inhibits myostatin for potential muscle repair models
  • Supports glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid uptake in metabolic and growth studies
  • Extended half-life enables sustained IGF-1R activation and reduced IGFBP interference
  • Valuable in lactation, neuroprotection, and large-scale biopharmaceutical cell culture
  • Reliable batch purity, supporting reproducible outcomes in IGF pathway investigations

Why Researchers Choose Nationwide Peptides

  • Receptor-grade potency for maximal in vitro activity (stronger IGF-1R affinity than media-grade)
  • Consistent N-terminal modification and low IGFBP binding for reliable assays
  • Transparent documentation and third-party analytical reporting
  • Trusted by academic, biotechnology, and endocrinology laboratories

Storage & Handling

  • Store lyophilized at –4°F (long-term) or 39.2°F (short-term); stable at room temp for up to 3 weeks
  • Store in a tightly sealed container and protect from light, moisture, air exposure, and elevated temperatures.
  • Reconstitute only according to institutional laboratory protocols (e.g., sterile water at 100 µg/mL)
  • Reconstituted solutions stable at 39.2°F for 2–7 days; add carrier protein (e.g., 0.1% HSA/BSA) for longer storage below –18°C
  • Handle using appropriate PPE and laboratory equipment; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
