MOTS-C Peptide | Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide for Metabolic Research

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on metabolic health, cellular protection, and aging.

Studies have shown that MOTS-c activates AMPK pathways, improves glucose uptake, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes lipid oxidation. It may also play a role in mitochondrial function, inflammation control, and resistance to oxidative stress.

Key Research Areas:

• AMPK activation and metabolic regulation

• Insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism

• Cellular resilience to oxidative stress

• Mitochondrial protection and longevity studies

• Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective pathways
