IGF1-LR3

Product Description

IGF1-LR3 (Long R3 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring IGF-1, designed to enhance potency and extend its biological half-life. This modification allows for increased bioavailability and reduced binding to IGF-binding proteins, facilitating greater access to target tissues and prolonged receptor activation. As a result, IGF1-LR3 serves as a valuable tool in research focused on muscle hypertrophy, tissue repair, and metabolic regulation.

Research Applications

• Investigates the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in muscle cells, which is crucial for promoting protein synthesis and minimizing protein degradation, thereby aiding studies on muscle growth and the preservation of lean body mass.
• Supports research into satellite cell activation and proliferation, which are essential for muscle repair and regeneration, particularly following injury or in the context of age-related muscle loss and cachexia.
• Facilitates studies on recovery and tissue repair by promoting cell proliferation and myofibril reconstruction in damaged muscles, potentially reducing recovery times and enhancing the structural integrity of repaired tissues.
• Enhances glucose uptake and nutrient partitioning, making it relevant for experiments focused on body composition changes, performance recovery, and strategies to improve insulin sensitivity.
