MOTS-c
Mitochondrial Peptide
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It plays a key role in metabolic homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy regulation.
Available Sizes
Mechanism of Action
Activates AMPK signaling pathways and regulates nuclear gene expression related to metabolism. MOTS-c translocates from mitochondria to the nucleus in response to metabolic stress, modulating glucose and lipid metabolism at the cellular level.
Research Highlights
- Mitochondria-derived peptide with systemic metabolic effects
- Activates AMPK — a master regulator of cellular energy
- Improves insulin sensitivity in preclinical models
- Studied for exercise mimetic and longevity-related effects
