1. Overview

Full name

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, Long R3

Category

Growth Factor / Anabolic Peptide

Abbreviations

IGF-1 LR3

Summary

A long-acting analog of IGF-1 with extended half-life and reduced binding protein affinity, supporting muscle growth, cell regeneration, and recovery.

2. What It Does

Primary functions

  • Drives muscle protein synthesis
  • Promotes cell proliferation
  • Supports tissue regeneration

Secondary effects

  • Enhances fat metabolism
  • Supports nutrient partitioning
  • Improves recovery

Biological pathways

  • IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) tyrosine kinase
  • PI3K/Akt/mTOR anabolic cascade
  • MAPK proliferation pathway

Mechanisms of action

  • Activates IGF-1R to trigger PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling
  • Long R3 modification extends half-life and bioavailability
  • Promotes hyperplasia and hypertrophy in muscle

3. How It Works

IGF-1 LR3's structural modifications dramatically reduce IGFBP binding and extend half-life from minutes to ~20-30 hours, providing sustained anabolic signaling.

Activation of IGF-1R drives the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, triggering protein synthesis, satellite cell activation, and tissue growth.
