IGF-1 LR3 (Long Arg3 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) is an 83-amino acid analog of human IGF-1 with a 13-amino acid N-terminal extension and an Arg substitution at position 3. These modifications reduce binding to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), resulting in enhanced bioavailability compared to native IGF-1 in in vitro assays.
Biochemical Characteristics
Specifications
Molecular Formula
C400H625N111O115S9
Molecular Weight
~9111 g/mol
CAS Number
946870-92-4
IGF-1 LR3 has an approximate molecular weight of 9,111 g/mol. The 13-amino acid N-terminal extension and Arg3 substitution dramatically reduce IGFBP binding affinity, resulting in higher free IGF-1 receptor activation in cell culture systems compared to native IGF-1.
The protein contains three disulfide bonds essential for maintaining biological activity.
Research Applications
• Cell culture: Widely used as a cell culture supplement to promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis.
• IGF receptor biology: Studies on IGF-1R signaling pathways with reduced IGFBP interference.
• Growth factor research: Investigations into IGF-1 signaling in muscle, bone, and metabolic models.
• Stem cell biology: Used in various stem cell maintenance and differentiation protocols.
Form & Analytical Testing
Form: Lyophilized powder, 1mg per vial
Appearance: White powder

Frequently Asked Questions
IGF-1 LR3 is verified at ≥98.5% purity via reverse-phase HPLC analysis. Each batch also undergoes ESI mass spectrometry for identity confirmation, LAL endotoxin testing (<0.1 EU/mg), and USP <71> sterility testing. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) is included with every order.
Add bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) slowly to the vial wall. Gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake or vortex. Solubility: Soluble in 0.1M acetic acid or acidic buffer. Reconstituted peptide should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 30 days. For single-use applications, sterile water may be substituted (no preservative, use immediately).
Lyophilized (powder): Store at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Shelf life: 24 months. Reconstituted (solution): Store at 2-8°C, use within 30 days. Critical: Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation inside the vial. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles (max 3 recommended).
The CAS registry number for IGF-1 LR3 is 946870-92-4. Molecular weight: ~9111 g/mol. Molecular formula: C400H625N111O115S9. Full chemical characterization data including PubChem identifiers, SMILES notation, and InChIKey are available on the Chemical Properties tab above.
Yes. Every batch of IGF-1 LR3 is independently tested by Janssen Analytical Laboratories (ISO 17025-accredited). Testing includes HPLC purity analysis, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, LAL kinetic turbidimetric endotoxin assay, and USP <71> sterility testing. Full results are provided in the batch-specific COA. Additional documentation is available on the COA/HPLC/MS and 3rd Party Testing tabs above.
Orders placed before 2:00 PM EST ship same day via cold-chain logistics with gel ice packs to maintain product integrity during transit. Most domestic orders arrive within 2-4 business days. Full tracking is provided. All vials are sealed under inert atmosphere and packaged to prevent damage.
Yes. Tiered pricing is applied automatically at checkout: 2+ units at 10% off, 3+ units at 15% off, and 5+ units at 20% off. For institutional or bulk research inquiries (10+ vials), contact us at contact@aureumpeptides.com for custom pricing.
Compatibility depends on your specific experimental design. IGF-1 LR3 is provided as a single-compound lyophilized preparation for maximum flexibility. When using multiple compounds, reconstitute each separately and add to experimental systems independently to avoid potential interactions during reconstitution.
