MOTS-C Peptide – Research Use Only
 
Description:
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial-derived peptide) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome. Research has explored its potential role in regulating metabolism, energy balance, and mitochondrial function. Studies suggest MOTS-C may influence glucose utilization, insulin sensitivity, and adaptive responses to cellular stress, making it of interest in metabolic and longevity research.
 
Background:
First identified as part of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs), MOTS-C is unique because it originates from the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome. MDPs are increasingly recognized as signaling molecules with critical roles in cellular energy regulation, stress responses, and age-related metabolic processes.
 
Potential Areas of Research:
Effects on mitochondrial energy regulation
Role in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
Impact on age-related metabolic decline
Activation of AMPK and other stress-response pathways
