MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. It is highly conserved across species and has become a focus of metabolic and longevity-related research due to its proposed role in mitochondrial and cellular energy regulation.
Research Highlights
- Studied for effects on AMPK activation, a key regulator of cellular energy metabolism
- Explored for potential relationships with glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity in metabolic research models
- Investigated for effects on mitochondrial efficiency and ATP-related cellular processes
- Research has examined its role in cellular stress resistance and oxidative-stress models
- Studied in the context of aging and longevity biology research
