MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)
Also known as: IGF-1Ec E-domain
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.
