(Long Arginine 3-Insulin-like Growth Factor-I) Chemical Name: [Arg3] insulin-like growth factor I (human) lengthened at the N-terminus by a 13-residue extension peptide
CAS Number: 946870-92-4
DESCRIPTION
IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic, 83-amino acid analog of human IGF-1. It differs from the native hormone by the substitution of an Arginine for Glutamic Acid at position 3 and the addition of a 13-amino acid extension peptide at the N-terminus. These modifications significantly decrease the peptide's affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). This results in a much higher metabolic stability and a significantly longer half-life (approximately 20–30 hours compared to the 20-minute half-life of standard IGF-1), making it a potent subject for research into cellular growth and tissue repair.
Hyperplasia Support: Research indicates it may promote the division and proliferation of new muscle cells (hyperplasia) rather than just the enlargement of existing ones.
Enhanced Nutrient Shuttling: Studies show it increases the transport of amino acids and glucose into muscle cells, potentially improving recovery and glycogen replenishment.
Tissue Repair: Laboratory investigations highlight its role in stimulating collagen synthesis and repairing connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments.
Muscle Maintenance: Preliminary data suggests it can inhibit muscle protein breakdown and counteract muscle wasting in clinical research models.
