Product Description
Human Insulin-like growth factor-1 (hIGF-1) is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It primarily functions by binding to its specific receptor, the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R). IGF-1 is one of the most potent natural activators of the AKT signaling pathway, which stimulates cell growth and proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis.rhIGF-1 LR3 (rhIGF-1 Long Arg3) is an 83-amino-acid analog of IGF-1. It comprises the complete human IGF-1 sequence with an arginine (Arg) substituted for glutamic acid (Glu) at position 3 (hence R3), plus a 13-amino-acid extension peptide at the N-terminus.
The rhIGF-1 LR3, purified by chromatography from E. coli or CHO cells, then lyophilized with Mannitol, has much higher stability and biological activity. The manufacture capability at hundreds of grams scales can meet your large bioprocessing needs.
