MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, studied for AMPK activation, metabolic homeostasis, and exercise-related cell signaling in preclinical research.
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16 amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. As one of the best characterized mitochondrial-derived peptides, it is studied for its role in AMPK pathway activation, glucose and fat metabolism, and cellular stress adaptation across in vitro and animal models.
