IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Analog) – Long R3 IGF-1

Product Overview

IGF-1 LR3 is a highly potent, 83-amino acid synthetic analog of human Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). Engineered with precise structural modifications to effectively evade sequestration by IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), this compound demonstrates approximately three-fold greater biological potency than native IGF-1. By establishing an extended duration of receptor activation, IGF-1 LR3 is a premier compound utilized in advanced research focusing on massive skeletal muscle hypertrophy, dual-action cellular anabolism, and profound tissue regeneration.

Technical Specifications

• Molecular Formula: C400H625N111O115S9

• Molecular Weight: 9,111 g/mol

• CAS Number: 946870-92-4

• Sequence Profile: 83-amino acid synthetic peptide featuring an arginine substitution at position 3 (replacing glutamic acid) and a 13-amino acid N-terminal extension.

Mechanism of Action

IGF-1 LR3 achieves its profound hypertrophic and hyperplastic effects through critical signaling cascades and structural resistance:

• IGFBP Resistance: The Arg3 substitution and N-terminal extension reduce binding affinity to IGF-binding proteins by approximately 100-fold, allowing a significantly larger fraction of the peptide to remain free and bioactive in the extracellular space.

• PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 Pathway (Synthesis): Activates the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) tyrosine kinase, leading to the phosphorylation of p70S6K and the inhibition of 4E-BP1, aggressively driving ribosomal protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy.

• PI3K/Akt/FOXO1 Pathway (Anti-Degradation): Phosphorylates FOXO1, preventing its nuclear entry and the subsequent transcription of ubiquitin ligases (MAFbx, MuRF1). This effectively suppresses proteasomal protein degradation, establishing a net anabolic cellular environment.

• Satellite Cell Activation: Recruits quiescent satellite stem cells into the cell cycle, promoting myoblast proliferation and differentiation to contribute additional myonuclei to growing muscle fibers.
