Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a member of the IGF-1 (insulin-like Growth Factor 1) super family. MGF, also called IGF-1Ec, has a unique E domain with a 49bp insert in humans (52bp in rodents; IGF-1Eb), which results in a reading frame shift during the IGF-1 gene splicing to produce a distinct mature isoform.
Synonyms: Mechano Growth Factor, MGF, IGF-1Ec
