About MGF
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is an alternate splice variant of IGF-1, released by skeletal muscle in response to mechanical loading or injury. It has been studied for its ability to trigger satellite cell activation, promoting localized muscle repair and tissue regeneration. MGF operates independently of systemic IGF-1, making it a unique target in muscle and injury research.
Research Studies
▪ Muscle Repair & Recovery
▪ Tissue Regeneration
- Studied in skeletal muscle, tendon, and nerve repair models
- Enhances localized healing responses
▪ Isoform Research
- Offers insight into the difference between growth (IGF-1) and repair (MGF) signals
Disclaimer
MGF is offered strictly for laboratory research use only. It is not approved for human or veterinary use and must be handled solely by licensed professionals in controlled research environments.
