Overview:
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) studied for its role in cellular metabolism, stress resistance, and energy regulation. It is naturally encoded within mitochondrial DNA and has been shown to influence metabolic homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and adaptive cellular responses to stress—making it a key target in metabolic and longevity research.

Mechanism of Action:
MOTS-c enhances AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling, a central regulator of cellular energy balance. By activating AMPK and downstream metabolic pathways, it promotes glucose uptake, fatty-acid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis. In preclinical studies, MOTS-c has also been shown to translocate to the nucleus under metabolic stress, where it regulates genes involved in oxidative metabolism and cellular protection.

Research Highlights:

• Demonstrated improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in preclinical metabolic models.
• Shown to increase exercise capacity and mitochondrial efficiency.
• Studied for potential applications in aging, obesity, and type 2 diabetes research.
• Regulates cellular resilience to oxidative and metabolic stress through AMPK activation and gene expression modulation.
