What is MGF?
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a splice variant of IGF-1 produced in response to mechanical stress on muscle tissue. When the IGF-1 gene is activated by mechanical loading, it undergoes alternative splicing to produce MGF (IGF-1Ec in humans, IGF-1Eb in rodents) rather than the liver-type systemic IGF-1Ea isoform.
The active C-terminal E-domain peptide of MGF consists of 24 amino acids and is responsible for its unique biological activity. Published research has investigated MGF expression in exercised and damaged muscle tissue and its role in satellite cell activation and proliferation.
