MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It has garnered significant research interest for its roles in metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity, cellular stress response, and longevity pathway activation.
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-c acts through the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) pathway to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. Research indicates it translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress, modulating gene expression to enhance cellular adaptability, mitochondrial biogenesis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) management.
Research Applications
- Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance research
- Mitochondrial function and biogenesis studies
- Aging and longevity pathway investigation
- Exercise physiology and endurance models
- Cellular energy regulation and stress response research
