MOTS-c

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide)

Overview:

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in laboratory environments for its role in cellular metabolism regulation and oxidative stress response. As a peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA, it is utilized in controlled research settings to examine unique intracellular signaling mechanisms and metabolic pathway interactions.

Scientific Background:

MOTS-c has been shown in vitro to influence AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways and mitochondrial gene expression. Unlike nuclear-encoded peptides, MOTS-c originates from mitochondrial DNA, making it a distinct signaling molecule in cellular research models. Studies often focus on its involvement in energy metabolism pathways, oxidative stress response, and cellular signaling related to metabolic regulation and longevity markers in controlled non-human models.
