Overview

MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide. Its analogue is a synthetic variation designed to mimic or enhance the actions of the endogenous peptide. MOTS-c is composed of 16 amino acids and has been identified as a key regulator of metabolic homeostasis, primarily through its influence on mitochondrial function. It is endogenously produced by mitochondria and enters circulation, acting as a signaling molecule. Research suggests it plays a role in glucose and fatty acid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cellular resilience to metabolic stress. The study of MOTS-c and its analogues often focuses on their potential therapeutic applications in metabolic disorders and age-related conditions. (Source: PubChem, NIH ODS)
