Overview

IGF-1 LR3 0.1mg contains the same IGF-1 LR3 analogue as the 1mg product — a modified insulin-like growth factor 1 with dramatically reduced IGFBP binding and enhanced bioavailability. It activates the IGF-1 receptor to promote cell survival, proliferation, and growth through PI3K/Akt and Ras/MAPK signaling pathways. The 0.1mg vial is suited for smaller-scale research protocols, initial dose-finding studies, or individual cell culture experiments where less total material is needed. See the IGF-1 LR3 1mg entry for comprehensive research details.

Key Research Findings

  • Francis et al. (1992) demonstrated IGF-1 LR3 has reduced IGFBP binding and enhanced potency compared to native IGF-1.
  • Tomas et al. (1993) showed IGF-1 LR3 is approximately 3-fold more potent than native IGF-1 in promoting growth.
  • Clemmons (2007) reviewed the IGF/IGFBP system and IGFBP-resistant IGF analogues.

Dosage in Research

Cell culture: 50-100 ng/mL. The 0.1mg vial is appropriate for limited cell culture experiments or pilot studies.

Dosage information is derived from published research literature and is presented for educational purposes only. This is not medical advice. All products are for laboratory research use only.

Storage & Handling

Store lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder at -20°C to 4°C in a dry environment protected from light. Unreconstituted peptide is stable for extended periods when stored properly.

Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water or an appropriate solvent, store at 2-8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the Certificate of Analysis. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

A Certificate of Analysis documenting purity, identity, and recommended storage conditions is included with every order.
