MOTS-c is a peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome, specifically from the 12S rRNA region. It is part of the mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) family, which are bioactive hormones involved in mitochondrial communication and energy regulation. Initially believed to function solely within mitochondria, recent research has revealed that MOTS-c can translocate to the nucleus under stress conditions, where it regulates a wide range of genes in response to metabolic dysfunction.
Studies have shown that MOTS-c enhances glucose metabolism, increases insulin sensitivity, and supports mitochondrial health. These properties make it a subject of interest in research areas focusing on weight regulation, exercise capacity, aging, and metabolic disorders such as osteoporosis.
