MOTS-C
MOTS-C is a research-grade mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) consisting of 16 amino acids encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene rather than nuclear DNA. This unique genomic origin redefined our understanding of mitochondria as active endocrine signalling organs. MOTS-C plays a critical role in metabolic homeostasis through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and modulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism, making it a reference compound for studying mitochondrial signalling in metabolic and longevity research.
