Description
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type C) is a mitochondria-derived peptide used to study cellular energy regulation, metabolic homeostasis, and mitochondrial function.
Its unique origin makes it an important tool in metabolism and longevity research.
Potential Research Applications
•Mitochondrial Function & Energy Balance
Studied for its influence on AMPK pathways and metabolic homeostasis.
•Glucose Regulation
Examined for its role in improving cellular glucose uptake in preclinical models.
•Stress Response Pathways
Used in research involving adaptive cellular stress responses.
•Metabolic Health Research
Included in studies of insulin sensitivity, fat mobilization, and metabolic efficiency.
Mechanism of Interest
MOTS-C interacts with mitochondrial metabolic sensors, particularly the AMPK pathway, which plays a central role in energy balance and glucose regulation.
Its mitochondrial origin allows researchers to study nuclear–mitochondrial communication, stress response pathways, and metabolic gene activation relating to longevity and cellular homeostasis.
