IGF-1 LR3

IGF-1 LR3 (IG1 – 1MG) by GX Peptide Supply is a synthetic, 83-amino acid analogue of endogenous Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. By replacing the glutamic acid at position 3 with arginine (LR3) and extending the N-terminus, this peptide is specifically modified to prevent binding to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). This modification significantly increases its bioavailability and biological half-life, making it a premier tool for longitudinal studies in tissue growth and metabolic signaling.

Key Product Features:

• Enhanced Potency: Specifically engineered to have a potency up to 3 times greater than standard IGF-1 due to its reduced binding to inhibitory proteins.

• Cellular Development Research: A primary focus in studies involving muscle cell hyperplasia (the creation of new muscle cells), protein synthesis, and nitrogen retention.

• Metabolic Investigation: Used in research exploring glucose transport, lipid metabolism, and the regulation of the somatotropic axis.

• Lyophilized for Stability: Provided as a 1mg freeze-dried powder to ensure molecular integrity and peak activity upon reconstitution.

Product Specifications:

• Product Code: IG1.

• Concentration: 1mg per vial.

• Format: Lyophilized powder.

• Quality Assurance: Manufactured to meet rigorous laboratory standards for purity and sequence accuracy.

Storage & Handling Guidelines:

• Temperature: Store at -20°C for long-term stability and to prevent peptide denaturation.

• Light Protection: Keep in original packaging, away from direct UV light exposure.

• Reconstitution: It is recommended to use a weak acid solution (like 0.1M acetic acid) or sterile bacteriostatic water in an aseptic environment; avoid vigorous agitation.
