PEG-MGF

PEGylated Mechano Growth Factor.

PEG-MGF is a PEGylated synthetic version of the C-terminal E-peptide of the IGF-1Ec splice variant — commonly called "mechano growth factor." Research interest focuses on its distinct activity profile compared to native IGF-1. Supplied as research-grade material with 3rd-party HPLC verification and full Certificate of Analysis per lot.

// Mechano Growth Factor is the C-terminal peptide of the IGF-1Ec splice variant expressed in mechanically loaded muscle. The 24-residue E-peptide is the distinguishing feature. PEGylation (polyethylene glycol conjugation) extends the very short native half-life.
02

What the literature reports.

PEG-MGF is a PEGylated synthetic version of the C-terminal E-peptide of the IGF-1Ec splice variant — commonly called "mechano growth factor." Research interest focuses on its distinct activity profile compared to native IGF-1.

Reported mechanism

Published literature describes MGF as activating muscle satellite cells (stem cells) in response to mechanical loading or damage, distinct from the mature IGF-1 peptide produced by alternative splicing of the same gene. The specific receptor target remains uncertain; published data suggests it is not IGF-1R.

Research context

PEGylation extends the very short (~5 minute) half-life of native MGF to approximately 72 hours. Not FDA-approved. Widely studied in muscle regeneration research. WADA prohibited (S2).

Common questions.

What's the molecular profile?+

PEG-MGF is a 24-residue peptide with molecular formula IGF-1Ec+PEG and molecular weight of approximately 2,900 Da.

The full structural data and release specifications are in the Compound Profile section above. Every lot ships with an independently verified Certificate of Analysis.

How is purity verified?+

Each lot is independently verified by a 3rd-party analytical laboratory (STERIS Labs, Alcami Analytical, or equivalent) before release. Release specification is HPLC purity ≥ 99.5% (typical > 99.8%), mass spectrometry identity match within ±0.5 Da, water content < 5.0% Karl Fischer, and endotoxin < 0.25 EU/mL by LAL (USP <85>).

Look up the full COA for your lot at coa-lookup.html.

How is the compound shipped and stored?+

All compounds ship at ambient temperature in discreet, tamper-evident packaging. Lyophilized peptide powder is stable at room temperature for typical transit windows, which is why research-grade vendors ship this way. Tracked; signature not required.

Store unopened lyophilized product at 2–8°C protected from light. Once reconstituted, most peptides are stable at 2–8°C for approximately 28 days (compound-dependent).

Is this compound FDA-approved?+

PEGylation extends the very short (~5 minute) half-life of native MGF to approximately 72 hours. Not FDA-approved. Widely studied in muscle regeneration research. WADA prohibited (S2).

All PeptideBros compounds are sold strictly as chemical reference materials for in-vitro laboratory research. They are not for human consumption.
