IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic, recombinant analog of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) comprising 83 amino acids. It differs from native IGF-1 by the substitution of Arginine for Glutamic acid at position 3 (R3) and an N-terminal extension of 13 amino acids (Long). These structural modifications significantly reduce its binding affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), thereby enhancing its bioavailability and potency in cell culture studies focused on cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
