A novel mitochondrial micropeptide MPM enhances mitochondrial respiratory activity and promotes myogenic differentiation
11 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Micropeptides belong to a class of newly identified small molecules with <100 amino acids in length, and their functions remain largely unknown. Here, we identified a novel muscle-enriched micropeptide that was localized to mitochondria (named MPM, m icro p eptide in m itochondria) and upregulated during in vitro differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts and in vivo early postnatal skeletal muscle development,...
