IGF-1 LR3 (1mg)
IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Long Arg3) is a recombinant analogue of the naturally occurring human IGF-1 protein, engineered to improve metabolic stability, bioactivity, and receptor binding efficiency in research settings. It incorporates the complete 70-amino-acid sequence of native IGF-1 with two critical modifications: a glutamic acid to arginine substitution at position 3 (Arg3) and a 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension. These adjustments significantly reduce affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), prolong its half-life, and enhance receptor potency compared to the unmodified form.
Chemical Structure of IGF-1 LR3
- Sequence: 83 amino acids, including the Arg3 substitution and N-terminal extension
- Formula: C₄₀₀H₆₂₅N₁₁₁O₁₁₅S₉
- Molecular Weight: ~9,117 Da
- Database Reference: PubChem CID (structure and sequence details)
Research Insights and Applications
- Extended Activity: With a reported half-life of approximately 20–30 hours, IGF-1 LR3 provides prolonged signaling compared to native IGF-1, which is rapidly sequestered by IGFBPs.
- Receptor Potency: Exhibits nearly three times greater bioactivity at the IGF-1 receptor, amplifying downstream signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt and MAPK, both central to cell growth and metabolism.
- Cellular Proliferation: Frequently studied in models of protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and cell cycle progression, where it plays a role in anabolic processes.
- Tissue and Regenerative Research: Used in experimental models of muscle, cartilage, nerve, and skin repair, with evidence of enhanced nutrient uptake and cellular resilience under stress.
- Metabolic Modulation: IGF-1 LR3 has been investigated for its ability to support glucose and amino acid utilization, making it a focus of metabolic research.
