MOTS-c Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
MOTS-c is a peptide hormone encoded in the mitochondrial genome. It regulates metabolic homeostasis and enhances physical performance. It is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that promotes biosynthesis of the endogenous AMP analog AICAR and consequently AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Induces cellular and systemic glucose uptake and improves insulin sensitivity. Shown to prevent diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice. Potential anti-obesity and anti-aging compound.
Nebenwirkungen
MOTS-c is reported to be safe in recommended dosages. The side effects of this compound include Injection site pruritus. As with all injections, redness and pain at the injection site may be present. As MOTS-c targets the folate cycle and de novo purine biosynthesis pathways, a depletion of intracellular 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) may occur when using MOTS-c protocols.
