MOTS-c is a peptide derived from mitochondrial DNA. Laboratory research focuses on its roles in metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy production. By activating the AMPK signaling pathway, it promotes fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake, improving mitochondrial function.…
Melanotan II is an α-MSH analog. Laboratory research focuses on its roles in skin pigmentation, appetite regulation, and sexual function. By activating melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC4R, etc.), it stimulates melanin production and regulates appetite and energy balance. This content is…
LL-37 is the only human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP). Laboratory research focuses on its multifaceted roles in antibacterial activity, anti-inflammation, and tissue repair. It exerts antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and participates in the regulation of immune cell…
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Laboratory research focuses on its role in anti-inflammation and immunomodulation. By inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, it reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and regulates immune cell activity. This content…
Kisspeptin-10 is a peptide derived from the KISS1 gene. Laboratory research focuses on its core regulatory role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. By activating the GPR54 receptor, it stimulates the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), thereby regulating the synthesis and…
