MOTS-C
Mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene — one of the first identified signaling peptides originating from mitochondrial DNA. MOTS-C can translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression in response to metabolic stress, activating AMPK and influencing the folate-methionine cycle. Research areas include exercise physiology, insulin sensitivity, age-related metabolic decline, and mitochondrial-nuclear communication. For research use only — not for human consumption.
MOTS-C may be referenced by researchers in identity confirmation, purity review, assay planning, peptide stability review, and internal laboratory documentation. This page does not present disease, treatment, safety, efficacy, or outcome claims.
