Overview
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that has emerged as a groundbreaking discovery in metabolic and exercise research. This 16-amino acid peptide functions as a signaling molecule that regulates metabolic homeostasis.
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-c activates the AMPK pathway and has been shown to translocate to the nucleus during metabolic stress, directly regulating gene expression. It has been described as an "exercise mimetic" — replicating many benefits of physical activity at the cellular level.
Research Applications
- Glucose metabolism — enhances glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity
- Fatty acid oxidation — promotes lipid metabolism
- Exercise physiology — mimics exercise-induced metabolic changes
- Mitochondrial signaling — novel MDP research applications
- Aging — metabolic decline in aging models
