Also Known As
Mechano Growth Factor · IGF-1Ec · MGF C-terminal
Overview
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a 24 amino acid C-terminal peptide derived from IGF-1 (IGF-1Ec splice variant). Expressed immediately after muscle damage or mechanical stress. Activates satellite cells and initiates local repair.
Mechanism of Action
Activates muscle satellite cells and promotes proliferation. Upregulates protein synthesis locally at damage sites. Works through IGF-1 receptor-independent pathways.
Quick Reference
Notes
Extremely short half-life limits systemic effects. PEG-MGF version extends half-life to 48-72 hours. Site-specific injection preferred.
