Mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP). 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. Involved in cellular stress resistance by regulating the nuclear genome. During metabolic stress (serum or glucose deprivation or oxidative stress) translocates to the nucleus in an AMPK-dependent manner. In the nucleus, MOTS-c binds to the transcription factor NRF2 that is a stress-responsive transcription factor and activates anti-oxidative stress genes.
