Long-Arg3 IGF-1 · Extended-Life IGF Analog
Long-R3 IGF-1 analog. Extended half-life for downstream GH signaling research.
IGF-1 LR3 (Long-Arg3 IGF-1) is a recombinant analog of insulin-like growth factor 1 with an arginine substitution at position 3 and an N-terminal extension, which reduces its binding affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and extends its half-life from minutes (native IGF-1) to approximately 20–30 hours.
Store at -20°C. Very sensitive to degradation — handle with care. Reconstituted in acetic acid (0.1M) or BAC water: use within 2–3 weeks refrigerated.
