About MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a peptide encoded not in the cell nucleus but in mitochondrial DNA, making it part of a newly discovered class of “mitochondrial-derived peptides.” Its levels decline with age, and researchers have described it as an “exercise mimetic.”
Mechanism of interest
MOTS-c activates AMPK, a master energy sensor, and is studied for improving insulin sensitivity and glucose use in skeletal muscle. Under stress it can move into the nucleus and influence gene expression.
