Additional information

MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene (MT-RNR1), discovered in 2015, that regulates cellular metabolism, particularly glucose uptake and fat oxidation in skeletal muscle.

It activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key energy-sensing enzyme, promoting insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and adaptation to metabolic stress like exercise; levels rise with physical activity, mimicking its effects. MOTS-C translocates to the cell nucleus to influence gene expression for metabolic homeostasis, which declines with age, sparking interest in anti-aging and performance.
