MOTS-c | Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c

A unique mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for its systemic metabolic-regulating properties.

MOTS-c is a revolutionary 16-amino acid peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome. It is a cornerstone of modern metabolic research, studied for its ability to regulate insulin sensitivity and metabolic homeostasis. MOTS-c is unique because it translocates to the nucleus in response to metabolic stress, where it modulates gene expression to promote fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake.

Research Benchmarks: Metabolic Stress Response

  • Insulin Sensitivity: Investigating the peptide’s role in reversing diet-induced insulin resistance.
  • Exercise Mimetic: Studying MOTS-c as a molecular bridge between exercise and metabolic health.
  • Mitochondrial Biogenesis: Researching the upregulation of cellular energy production in aging models.
