IGF-1 LR3
Source / Derivation:
IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long R3) is a recombinant analog of IGF-1, a peptide hormone endogenously synthesized in the liver and peripheral tissues. The LR3 modification extends the peptide’s half-life, providing prolonged receptor activation compared to native IGF-1.

IGF-1 LR3
Mechanism of Action:
IGF-1 LR3 binds to the IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R) and activates intracellular signalling cascades, including the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK pathways, promoting protein synthesis, cellular proliferation, and tissue regeneration.
​
Clinical Relevance & Potential Outcomes:
IGF-1 LR3 has been investigated for its potential to enhance skeletal muscle repair, increase lean body mass, and improve tissue regenerative capacity, with possible applications in sarcopenia, cachexia, and recovery from musculoskeletal injury.
​
Intended Clinical Application:
IGF-1 LR3 may be relevant for patients requiring enhanced tissue repair, muscle regeneration, or anabolic support, including post-trauma recovery and conditions associated with muscle wasting.
