Description
IGF-1 LR3 – Long-Acting Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Analogue
Buy IGF-1 LR3 in Canada – High-Purity Standard for IGF-1R Signaling & Myogenesis Research
IGF-1 LR3 is an engineered recombinant peptide derivative of human IGF-1 designed to optimize bioavailability and experimental longevity in cellular studies. By incorporating a 13-amino acid extension peptide at the N-terminus and replacing glutamic acid with arginine at position 3, the molecule exhibits an exceptionally low affinity for circulating IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). Consequently, the compound remains unbound and biologically available in culture media, facilitating prolonged binding to the transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase $IGF\text{-}1R$. For Canadian academic institutions and analytical facilities investigating cellular hypertrophy, glucose uptake cascades, and cell cycle progression, North Vital Labs supplies analytical-grade IGF-1 LR3 backed by independent laboratory testing.
Primary Research Applications
-
IGF-1R & Tyrosine Kinase Activation: Serves as a standard molecular tool to evaluate receptor auto-phosphorylation, IRS-1 docking, and downstream intracellular signaling cascades.
-
PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway Dynamics: Facilitates controlled investigation into translational initiation, protein synthesis acceleration, and anti-apoptotic signaling mechanisms.
-
Myoblast Proliferation & Differentiation: Widely utilized in skeletal muscle cell models to observe satellite cell activation, myoblast fusion, and myotube hypertrophy.
-
Non-Insulin Glucose Transport: Enables laboratory study of glucose transporter translocation (GLUT4) and amino acid uptake kinetics independent of native insulin signaling.
