Mitochondrial-derived peptides in cardiovascular disease: Novel insights and therapeutic opportunities
24 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs) represent a recently discovered family of peptides encoded by short open reading frames (ORFs) found within mitochondrial genes. This group includes notable members including humanin (HN), mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rDNA type-c (MOTS-c), and small humanin-like peptides 1-6 (SHLP1-6). MDPs assume pivotal roles in the regulation of diverse cellular processes,...
