Description
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide consisting of 16 amino acids. It is encoded within the mitochondrial genome and acts as a signaling molecule that regulates metabolic homeostasis. Research has demonstrated its role in activating AMPK, enhancing glucose metabolism, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting fatty acid oxidation. Studies also suggest MOTS-c may play a role in exercise physiology and age-related metabolic decline, making it a significant target in metabolic and aging research.
