PEG-MGF 2mg
PEG-MGF is the C-terminal E-domain peptide of the IGF-1Ec splice variant, conjugated to polyethylene glycol. It is studied for satellite cell activation in skeletal muscle models, with PEGylation extending an otherwise very short half-life.

About PEG-MGF 2mg
Mechano-growth factor is the splice variant of IGF-1 that muscle produces in response to mechanical loading and damage, and its distinguishing feature is the E-domain, which appears to act on satellite cell proliferation through a pathway separate from the IGF-1 receptor. The unmodified peptide clears within minutes, which makes it impractical to study; PEG conjugation extends that window substantially. Because PEG chain size varies between preparations, total molecular weight is preparation-dependent and only the peptide portion is quoted here.
Storage and reconstitution
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Reconstitute in bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for shipping and short-term storage.
Shipping within Canada
Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific on a business day are packed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after that cut-off, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. Parcels leave British Columbia, Canada and travel entirely within the country, so nothing on this order crosses a border, clears customs or is held by CBSA. Orders over CA$200 ship free; see the shipping page for transit times by province.
