IGF1

(redirected from Mechano growth factor)

IGF1

A gene on chromosome 12q23.2 that encodes a protein, similar to insulin in structure and function, which belongs to a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development.

Molecular pathology
IGF1 mutations are a cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency.

There are two splice variants of the IGF-I gene expressed in skeletal muscle, IGF-I Ea and mechano growth factor (MGF), and these different IGF-I splice variants have been shown to have different functions.
