MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded directly in the mitochondrial DNA.

It functions as a bioactive signaling molecule that helps regulate metabolic homeostasis. In research models, MOTS-c is studied for its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity, promote fatty acid oxidation, improve mitochondrial function, and mimic some beneficial effects of exercise on metabolism and energy balance.

Key Research Areas:

  • Metabolic regulation and insulin sensitivity
  • Mitochondrial bioenergetics and function
  • Exercise mimetic and physical performance models
  • Fat metabolism and body composition
  • Anti-aging, longevity, and metabolic disorder research
