Read the evidence
Transgene or splice-variant findings do not prove effects of an isolated synthetic peptide. Check what the experiment actually expressed or administered.
Resolve the identity
Require the species, sequence and molecular context. “MGF” alone can refer to a gene product, propeptide or fragment.
