MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a synthetic 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (sequence: MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR), encoded by a short open reading frame in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene.
MOTS-c acts as a key regulator of metabolic homeostasis, translocating to the nucleus under stress conditions to modulate adaptive gene expression, primarily through AMPK activation and the folate-purine pathway. It enhances glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial function, while promoting exercise-like benefits such as improved physical performance and muscle homeostasis. Levels decline with age, making it a prominent focus in preclinical research on aging, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic disorders, and age-related physical decline.
