MOTS-c – Research Peptide
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a groundbreaking peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. It plays a significant role in metabolic regulation and cellular stress response, making it a unique research tool distinct from nuclear-encoded peptides.
Research Context
Published research has highlighted MOTS-c’s involvement in regulating AMPK pathways, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing adipose accumulation, and supporting cellular energy balance. It is increasingly studied in the context of aging, exercise biology, and metabolic dysfunction models.
