MitoPQ

Description: MitoPQ (MitoParaquat) is a mitochondria-targeted small molecule compound that selectively enhances mitochondrial superoxide and hydrogen peroxide levels and inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and translocation of glucose transport protein 4 (GLUT4) to the plasma membrane in adipocytes and myotubes.MitoPQ can be used to MitoPQ can be used to study mitochondrial oxidative stress and regulated GLUT4 transporter. Target: Glucokinase, transporter. Smiles: C[N+]1=CC=C(C2=CC=[N+](CCCCCCCCCC[P+](C3=CC=CC=C3)(C4=CC=CC=C4)C5=CC=CC=C5)C=C2)C=C1.[I-].[I-].[I-]. References: Robb EL,et al.
