Phoenixin-20

Phoenixin-20 (PNX-20) is a bioactive peptide with hormone-like actions in vertebrates, and can stimulates hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal hormones and regulate reproductive processes in mammals. Phoenixin-20 promotes neuronal mitochondrial biogenesis via CREB-PGC-1α pathway. Phoenixin-20 has anxiolytic effect[1][2][3].
