IGF-1 LR3 is an engineered, longer version of the natural growth factor IGF-1 — a protein of about eighty-three building blocks, with one building block swapped and a short extension added at the front. Unlike the synthetic peptides in the catalog, it is made recombinantly, grown in cells rather than assembled chemically.
Vestrand stocks it as a single reference lot, characterized independently and documented for every batch.
Because it is a recombinant protein, it is identified through regulatory identifiers rather than the small-molecule database records used elsewhere in the catalog — which is normal for a biologic. In the same spirit of candor, two different mass values circulate for it, and since neither comes from a top-grade source, we publish neither as the figure.
