MOTS-c MOTS-c exists within the genome of the mitochondria, the cells powerhouse
It consists of: An extracellular N-terminus that binds the C-terminal part of the incretin analog A seven transmembrane helical domain (TMD) with the a-helices separated by three intracellular loops and three extracellular loops An intracellular C-terminus that is responsible for intracellular signaling A crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of GLP-1R and Exendin 4 (residues 9-39) shows the peptide as a well-defined -helix (FIgure 2, PDB ID 3c59, Runge et al., 2008)
Samples were collected in a similar fashion in both studies, and the measurements were done by the same laboratory, so a collection or measurement error is unlikely
Over time, however, researchers came to understand that amylin has a distinct and important set of functions in regulating metabolism and food intake
