What is MGF and how does it relate to IGF-1?
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF), also known as IGF-1Ec, is a splice variant of the IGF-1 gene produced by differential mRNA splicing in response to mechanical stimulation. It contains the same 70-amino acid IGF-1 domain but has a unique 49-amino acid E-peptide (Ec peptide) at the C-terminus. In research, MGF is studied as a locally acting signalling molecule that activates a receptor distinct from the classical IGF-1R — the MGF receptor system — to mediate mechano-responsive cellular signalling.
What cellular processes has MGF been studied for in preclinical models?
Preclinical research has investigated MGF in models of mechanical stress response, satellite cell activation in skeletal muscle preparations, and growth factor pathway interactions in muscle-derived and connective tissue cell lines. Endpoints studied include MyoD and myogenin expression in myogenic cell systems, cell proliferation responses, and interactions with the classical IGF-1R at high concentrations.
How is MGF's receptor pharmacology distinguished from IGF-1 in research?
The distinct receptor system proposed for the Ec peptide of MGF — separate from the classical IGF-1R — has been investigated using receptor competition binding with labelled MGF and IGF-1, and by comparing pharmacological responses in cells with and without IGF-1R knockdown. Research indicates that some MGF effects are IGF-1R independent, although the molecular identity of the proposed MGF-specific receptor remains an active area of investigation.
What storage and reconstitution conditions are recommended?
MGF/IGF-1Ec is supplied as a lyophilised powder and should be stored at -20°C. Reconstitution in 0.1% acetic acid or dilute acidic buffer maintains solubility; solutions are then diluted into neutral physiological buffer for experimental use. Single-use aliquots are recommended to prevent degradation from freeze-thaw cycling.
Is MGF/IGF-1Ec approved for human use?
No. MGF/IGF-1Ec as supplied by Elivena is for research use in controlled laboratory settings only. It is not approved for human therapeutic or performance-related administration outside of formally regulated research programmes.

Researchers often ask
Is MGF IGF-1Ec for human use?
No. MGF IGF-1Ec is sold for laboratory research only. It is not for human or veterinary use, and it is not a drug, food or cosmetic.
How do I find the lab report?
Use View COAs on the product page, or search the COA library by compound name. The summary is public; the signed PDF reports are available to signed-in researchers.
Why is purity measured by LC-MS?
LC-MS separates the sample and identifies each component by its mass, so one run confirms identity and measures purity.
When will my order ship?
Orders are dispatched within 24–48 business hours. Regular tracked delivery takes 5 to 10 days and express tracked 3 to 5 days. Regular shipping is free on orders over $200 and express on orders over $400, after discounts.
