As mentioned above, it facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce ATP, the main source of cellular energy
NAPstar1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and NAPstarC were expressed as recombinant proteins in E

The tDCS upregulates monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) expression and propionate (PPA) level, reduces phosphorylation and activity of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in neurons, and thereby alleviates PTEN-mediated transcriptional repression of LONP1, ultimately enhancing LONP1-dependent mitochondrial protection
Plays a key part in transporting stored fat as long chain fatty acids into cells where mitochondria convert them into fuel the body can use for energy
AHK-Cu (alanyl-histidyl-lysine-copper) has a slightly different amino acid chain but similar biological activity
