What Is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded by an open reading frame within the 12S ribosomal RNA gene. Research has investigated its role as a regulator of AMPK signaling, glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity, and aging-related metabolic decline in cell and animal models.
