MOTS-C

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide)

MOTS-c is a naturally occurring, 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. As a member of the mitochondrial-derived peptide family, MOTS-c has attracted scientific interest for its potential involvement in cellular metabolism, energy regulation, and metabolic stress responses.

Unlike many conventional signaling peptides, MOTS-c originates from mitochondrial genetic material, making it a subject of interest in research exploring communication between mitochondria and cellular metabolic pathways.
