MOTS-c

MOTS-C – Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide

Overview
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA and recognized for its role in regulating cellular metabolism. Produced within the mitochondria, this peptide acts as a key messenger that helps maintain energy homeostasis by influencing glucose utilization, insulin sensitivity, and adaptive responses to metabolic stress.

Mechanism of Action
Research indicates that MOTS-C can translocate from the mitochondria to the nucleus, where it modulates gene expression related to energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular stress defense. Through these pathways, it supports improved energy balance and metabolic flexibility under challenging physiological conditions.

Research Highlights
  • Supports healthy glucose metabolism
  • Enhances insulin sensitivity and energy regulation
  • Promotes mitochondrial health and cellular resilience
  • May aid in reducing fat accumulation and improving exercise performance
  • Studied for potential benefits in metabolic and age-related disorders, including obesity, insulin resistance, and osteoporosis
