What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide that regulates metabolic functions. Encoded by mitochondrial DNA, MOTS-c acts as a metabolic regulator that improves insulin sensitivity, enhances exercise capacity, and promotes metabolic homeostasis. It’s particularly valuable in research on age-related metabolic decline, exercise adaptation, and metabolic syndrome.
