What to know about the research

Laboratory growth and binding results are not human performance evidence. Mecasermin product evidence cannot be assigned to LR3.

Check the exact compound

Confirm the N-terminal extension and Arg substitution. LR3, native IGF-I and des(1–3)IGF-I have distinct structures.
