Description
A local growth factor or a local tissue repair factor. Combining physiological and molecular biology methods have indicated how a factor expressed by stressed muscle induces local muscle fiber repair and adaptation. Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is derived from the insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I), but its sequence differs from the systemic IGF-I produced by the liver. MGF is expressed by mechanically overloaded muscle and is involved in tissue repair and adaptation. It is expressed as a pulse following muscle damage and is apparently involved in the activation of muscle satellite (stem) cells. These donate nuclei to the muscle fibers that are required for repair and for the hypertrophy processes which may have similar regulatory mechanisms.

Reconstitution
Resuspend in water, at a concentration of ≥10mg/ml. DMSO may have high solubility, and sometimes need be sonicated. Notes: Above are relevant information that may provide a guideline on how to dissolve this peptide. Solubility may vary from batch to batch due to solvent of crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature, and dissolved oxygen. End users need to test the solvents & solubility and adapt to their own specific applications.
Storage
Store at -20°C or below, valid for at least one year. Since each freeze-thaw cycle of the peptide can cause partial inactivation, after preparing the corresponding concentration of storage solution for the first time (please prepare the storage solution according to the information in the Reconstitution section of the product description), it should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or below to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Notes
- This product is a lyophilized powder. Due to the deposition of trace amounts of peptides inside the vial during the lyophilization process, a thin or invisible layer of peptides may form. Therefore, before opening the vial, we recommend centrifuging at approximately 8,000-12,000g for 10-30 seconds in a centrifuge to collect the peptides adhered to the vial cap or wall at the bottom of the vial.
- This product is intended for scientific research by professionals only and should not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment, food or drugs, and should not be stored in a regular household.
- For your safety and health, please wear laboratory attire and disposable gloves while handling.
