MGF 5 mg

Buy MGF 5 mg for laboratory research, supplied as lyophilized powder in one boxed 3 mL vial.

MGF stands for mechano growth factor. Published research uses this name for the E-domain of an insulin-like growth factor-I precursor and related synthetic peptides.

Match the peptide to the experiment

A short MGF E-peptide, a complete IGF-I precursor and mature IGF-I are different preparations. A paper that studies one does not automatically characterize the others. Sequence, peptide length and terminal chemistry are the relevant specifications when matching an experimental method.

This listing is also separate from PEG-MGF 2 mg, a PEG-conjugated material. Polymer attachment introduces additional specifications, so the two products should not be compared by milligram amount alone.

Research findings depend on the preparation

Kandalla and colleagues studied a 24-amino-acid MGF E-peptide in primary human muscle cultures. They reported an increased proliferative lifespan in cells from neonatal and young-adult donors, but not old-adult donors. This was a cell-culture observation with a defined experimental peptide.

A later study by Fornaro and colleagues did not reproduce proposed proliferation or differentiation effects with native and stabilized MGF peptides in its tested muscle-cell systems. Mature IGF-I and full-length IGF-1Eb comparators remained active.

The differing results make the exact construct, cell model and measured endpoint central to interpretation. The cited studies describe their experimental peptides and methods; their results are research context for material selection.

Product files and handling

Open Documents to review the available product files. Match any applicable batch report to the product and lot, and separate an identity result from a purity or content result. The MGF name and a purity percentage alone do not establish the complete structure.

Use guidance that applies to the supplied form and your laboratory conditions. The 5 mg label describes the amount per vial; 3 mL describes container capacity and is not a preparation-volume instruction.
