MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is an alternative splice variant of the IGF-1 gene, expressed in response to mechanical overload and muscle damage. It has been studied for its role in promoting satellite cell activation, muscle fiber repair, and localized hypertrophy — independent of systemic IGF-1 signaling.
Due to its rapid expression and localized action, MGF has become a focus of research into acute muscle injury recovery, strength adaptation, and regenerative tissue models. It is commonly compared with IGF-1 LR3 for its distinct but complementary activity.
This compound is offered as a lyophilized powder in sterile, unlabeled glass vials to ensure purity and versatility in research settings. Our 10-vial research kits are produced under stringent quality control protocols and are independently batch-tested for identity and purity.
Each vial is intended for in vitro use only. Not for human consumption. Not for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
