MOTS-c Peptide

For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. Since its discovery, it has been investigated for its potential role in metabolic regulation, cellular energetics, and mitochondrial signaling pathways.

Mechanism of Action

Research suggests MOTS-c may influence metabolic homeostasis through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a pathway involved in cellular energy regulation and glucose metabolism. Preclinical studies indicate MOTS-c may support glucose uptake and metabolic flexibility in experimental models. Due to these findings, MOTS-c is often investigated within mitochondrial signaling and metabolic health research.

Research Applications

Current research involving MOTS-c includes:

Metabolic Health Research: Experimental models have examined its effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
Mitochondrial Function: MOTS-c is studied for its role in mitochondrial communication and energy regulation.
Aging Research: Researchers are investigating whether mitochondrial-derived peptides may influence age-related metabolic decline.
Bone Metabolism: Emerging laboratory research suggests MOTS-c may influence osteoblast and osteoclast activity in experimental systems.
