IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long Arg3) is a recombinant peptide analog of human IGF-1, modified to support research exploring cellular growth, survival, and metabolic signaling. With a molecular structure that includes a 13-amino-acid extension and arginine substitution, this version of IGF-1 offers improved receptor affinity and greater resistance to binding proteins in in vitro studies.
