IGF-1 LR3 has been extensively studied in muscle and metabolic research contexts:
Prolonged receptor activation vs. native IGF-1 due to reduced binding protein affinity in animal models
Stimulates satellite cell proliferation and myofibril hypertrophy in skeletal muscle tissue studies
Upregulates protein synthesis via PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling in preclinical research
Enhances glucose uptake in muscle cells independent of insulin in cell culture models
Half-life reported at ~20–30 hours vs. ~12 minutes for native IGF-1 in preclinical studies
Every batch is independently tested by a US-based third-party laboratory. Our Certificate of Analysis confirms:

Everything you need to know about IGF-1 LR3 for your research. Can't find an answer? Contact our team directly.
IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3 IGF-1) is a recombinant analogue with two key structural differences from native IGF-1: an arginine-to-glycine substitution at position 3 (reducing IGFBP binding affinity by ~570-fold) and a 13-amino acid N-terminal extension. These modifications significantly extend its half-life and potency in preclinical models, making it a preferred tool for in-vitro research applications requiring sustained receptor activation.
Each vial contains 1mg of lyophilized IGF-1 LR3 powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (BAC Water) to your desired research concentration. We recommend 0.1–1.0 mL BAC Water per vial depending on your protocol, yielding 1–10 mg/mL solutions.
