Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a peptide hormone that is involved in muscle growth and repair. It is a splice variant of the Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) gene and is produced in response to mechanical stress or damage to muscle fibers.
When muscles undergo intense exercise or experience injury, MGF is released as a response to the damage. MGF then binds to specific receptors on muscle cells, activating a signaling pathway that promotes muscle growth and repair. It stimulates the activation of satellite cells, which are responsible for muscle regeneration and hypertrophy.
