Molecular Profile

What is this compound?

PEG-MGF is a polyethylene-glycol-conjugated form of mechano growth factor (MGF), the E-domain peptide of the IGF-1Ec splice variant, and is supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use only. The MGF peptide is characterized in the peer-reviewed literature for its distinct pro-migratory activity on human myogenic precursor cells, separate from mature IGF-1 signaling. The PEGylation is a formulation modification intended to extend the peptide half-life; note that published literature addresses the MGF peptide itself rather than the PEGylated conjugate specifically.

Research applications: Commonly used in myogenic precursor cell research, IGF-1 splice-variant signaling studies, and tissue-repair research applications.

Type: PEGylated mechano growth factor (IGF-1Ec E-domain peptide)
Molecular Weight: 2868.13 g/mol (MGF peptide; conjugate mass varies with PEG chain length)
Formula: C121H199N41O40 (MGF peptide, prior to PEG conjugation)
Amino Acids: 24
Sequence: YQPPSTNKNTKSQRRKGSTFEERK (MGF / IGF-1Ec E-domain peptide, PEG-conjugated)
