MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide with an origin unlike anything else in our catalog: it is encoded directly by mitochondrial DNA, specifically within the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome, rather than by nuclear DNA like virtually all other cellular peptides. This makes MOTS-C a mitochondrial-derived peptide, a relatively recently characterized class of signaling molecules.
In laboratory settings, MOTS-C is studied for its role in cellular energy metabolism, with particular research interest in its activation of the AMPK pathway and its unusual ability to translocate to the cell nucleus to influence gene expression under metabolic stress.
