Description
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in laboratory research for its potential role in regulating metabolism, supporting energy production, and influencing cellular health. Composed of 16 amino acids, MOTS-c is encoded by mitochondrial DNA and has been shown in preclinical models to activate AMPK pathways, enhance glucose utilization, and support fat metabolism.
Researchers have investigated MOTS-c for its effects on weight regulation, exercise endurance, insulin sensitivity, and anti-aging mechanisms. Its activity has been linked to improved mitochondrial function, muscle performance, and metabolic flexibility in aging and diabetic animal models. MOTS-c continues to be a focus of metabolic and longevity-related studies in controlled in vitro settings.
