MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)

Also known as: IGF-1Ec E-domain

Muscle Biology ResearchGrowth Factor Research
ClassificationSynthetic peptide corresponding to the E-domain of the IGF-1Ec splice variant.
TargetsSatellite-cell activation models; IGF-1 splice-variant biology

Molecular Overview

MGF is the E-domain peptide of the mechanically induced IGF-1Ec splice variant, used as a tool compound in muscle-progenitor research.

Mechanistic Background

Studied for IGF-1-receptor-independent effects on muscle progenitor cells in vitro.

What Researchers Study

Academic muscle-biology literature.

Evidence Landscape

Current evidence level: PRECLINICAL. Preclinical evidence does not equate to demonstrated human efficacy.

Research Limitations

No clinical data for the isolated peptide.
