MGF 5mg (mechano growth factor, IGF-1 Ec) is a research peptide from Peptide Sciences based on the E-domain of a muscle-specific IGF-1 splice variant.
Mechano Growth Factor Research
When muscle is mechanically loaded or damaged, the IGF-1 gene is alternatively spliced to produce IGF-1Ec, known as MGF. Its unique C-terminal E-peptide has been studied for activating muscle satellite cells and supporting myoblast proliferation, separately from the mature IGF-1 domain. Research focuses on muscle repair, neuroprotection and cardiac-tissue models.
