About this compound

Identity & research context

A 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It has been investigated in preclinical and in-vitro model systems as a regulator of AMPK-linked metabolic signaling, with research spanning cellular glucose metabolism, insulin-sensitivity parameters in animal models, and mitochondrial stress responses.

Key research points

  • Insulin-sensitivity & glucose endpoints (rodent models)
  • Mitochondrial function; 'exercise-mimetic' (animal models)
  • Metabolic-flexibility & fuel-use research (preclinical)
  • Aging & cellular-stress research (exploratory)
