Composition: It consists of 24 amino acid residues stabilized by a biocompatible polymer coating (PEG).
Functionality:
Stimulates Muscle Growth: PEG-MGF is derived from Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). It plays a crucial role in adult muscle growth by stimulating the division of myoblasts, which leads to muscle fusion and maturation.
Tissue Repair: MGF induces repair, regrowth, and the formation of new cells in response to stress. This process, known as hypertrophy, is essential for gaining muscle mass.
Neuroprotective and Skeletal Health: Animal studies suggest that PEG-MGF acts as an active neuroprotective agent and promotes skeletal health.
Cardiac Tissue Repair: PEG-MGF coordinates the repair of heart muscle tissue following myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Stability and Storage:
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) PEG-MGF should be stored at -20°C.
Reconstituted (dissolved) protein can be stored at 4°C after aliquoting to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Comparison with IGF-1:
Although IGF-1 and PEG-MGF share similarities, they have distinct mechanisms of action.
When administered together, IGF-1 LR3 (or IGF-1 DES) and PEG-MGF show synergy and enhance muscle growth rates.
PEG-MGF’s stability makes it more suitable for research purposes than unprotected MGF.
