MGF 2MG

MGF 2MG | IGF-1Ec Splice Variant

A specialized peptide studied for its localized role in mechanical-load-induced muscle repair.

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a splice variant of the IGF-1 gene, specifically known as IGF-1Ec. In the study of muscle physiology, MGF is recognized for its unique ability to trigger satellite cell activation following mechanical stress or injury. Unlike systemic IGF-1, MGF is researched for its localized impact on skeletal muscle hypertrophy and its role in preventing age-related muscle loss.

Research Benchmarks: Myogenic Satellite Cell Activation

• Satellite Cell Recruitment: Studying the proliferation of stem cells for new muscle fiber formation.
• Muscle Tissue Regeneration: Investigating the recovery of muscle tissue following mechanical strain.
• Neuroprotective Effects: Emerging research into MGF’s potential role in protecting neuronal cells.
