IGF1-LR3

Description

IGF1-LR3

IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long R3) is a synthetic variant of the naturally occurring IGF-1, a peptide hormone crucial for growth and development. IGF-1 LR3 is modified by replacing arginine at position 3 with leucine, enhancing its stability and prolonging its half-life compared to natural IGF-1.

The terms “receptor grade” and “media grade” are not widely recognized in the context of IGF-1 LR3 but are often associated with the purity and quality of chemical compounds, including peptides.

Receptor Grade: Typically denotes a high level of purity suitable for research purposes, especially in studies focusing on receptor interactions. It implies the absence of contaminants that could interfere with experimental outcomes.

Media Grade: Generally indicates a lower level of purity appropriate for non-research applications like use in cell culture media. It may contain acceptable impurities for specific applications but is not ideal for research requiring high purity.

Always adhere to ethical and legal guidelines when working with peptides in research settings. It’s important to note that the use of peptides like IGF-1 LR3 for purposes other than research is discouraged due to potential health risks.
