What is MGF (IGF-1Ec) (5mg)?

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF), also known as IGF‑1Ec, is an alternatively spliced isoform of the IGF‑1 gene, specifically produced in response to mechanical stress or tissue damage [3][6]. Unlike the liver-derived IGF‑1Ea, MGF contains a unique C-terminal extension known as the “Ec peptide.” Research shows that MGF has distinct roles in promoting muscle stem cell proliferation, chondrocyte activity, and neurogenesis—supporting its study in tissue repair and regeneration models [1][3][2][4].

Chemical Structure of MGF (IGF-1Ec) (5mg)

MGF corresponds to the C-terminal (E‑domain) peptide of IGF‑1Ec, with the reported sequence Tyr–Gln–Pro–Pro–Ser–Thr–Asn–Lys–Asn–Thr–Lys–Ser–Gln–Arg–Arg–Lys–Gly–Ser–Thr–Phe–Glu–Glu–Arg–Lys–Cys. This fragment carries a molecular formula of C₁₂₄H₂₀₄N₄₂O₄₁S₁ and a molecular weight of approximately 2,971.99 Da, as noted in peptide product data [1][3]. Synonyms include Mechano Growth Factor, IGF‑1Eb, and the E-peptide of IGF‑1Ec.

What Are the Effects of MGF (IGF-1Ec) (5mg)?

In preclinical models, MGF promotes satellite cell activation and proliferation following muscle damage, triggering regenerative repair in skeletal and cardiac muscle [3][6]. It also enhances chondrocyte proliferation, indicating roles in cartilage growth plate dynamics [2]. In the nervous system, MGF overexpression boosts neural progenitor cell proliferation in hippocampal and subventricular zones, sustaining neurogenesis in aging mouse brain [1][4]. Additionally, MGF exhibits neuroprotective properties, preserving neurons in ischemia models through receptor-independent pathways [5].
