About MOTS-c
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a unique, naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP). In laboratory settings, it is extensively studied for its profound role in regulating metabolic homeostasis and cellular energy. Frequently researched as an “exercise mimetic,” MOTS-c has been shown to target skeletal muscle and activate the AMPK pathway. Researchers primarily utilize this peptide to investigate mechanisms related to enhanced insulin sensitivity, defense against diet-induced obesity, and the prevention of age-related metabolic decline.
