IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, CAS# 946870-92-4) is a synthetic 83-amino acid analogue of human IGF-1, engineered with an N-terminal 13-amino acid extension and an Arg³ substitution. These modifications reduce binding affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), resulting in altered receptor interaction kinetics relevant to in vitro growth factor signalling research. It binds primarily to the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Supplied by NexPept as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use. This compound has not been authorized by Health Canada for any therapeutic, clinical, or human use.

In Vitro Research Context
Receptor pharmacology & signalling — laboratory use only
Receptor pharmacology & signalling — laboratory use only
A receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates downstream PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signalling cascades. IGF-1 LR3 is studied for its binding at this receptor with reduced interference from IGF-binding proteins, making it a useful tool compound for controlled in vitro signalling pathway research.
IGF-1 LR3 is studied in preclinical in vitro settings as a pharmacological tool for investigating IGF-1 receptor binding, downstream signalling cascade activation, and growth factor pathway models. The reduced IGFBP binding affinity relative to native IGF-1 makes this analogue particularly suited for controlled cell culture and receptor interaction studies where IGFBP interference would otherwise confound results.
Research context: IGF-1 LR3 is an investigational synthetic peptide analogue studied in scientific research involving IGF-1R signalling and growth factor pathway models. It has not been authorized by Health Canada for human or veterinary use.
