The role of mitochondria-derived peptides in cardiovascular disease: Recent updates
7 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs) are a series of peptides encoded by mitochondrial DNA, and have similar functions to mitochondria. At present there are three types of MDPs that have been found, including Humanin, MOTS-c and SHLP1-6. They are new metabolic regulators of human body, and play a cytoprotective role in maintaining mitochondrial function and cell viability under pressure. Increasingly researchers...
