MOTS-C
MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide uniquely encoded by the mitochondrial genome rather than nuclear DNA, acting as a central regulator of metabolic homeostasis and cellular energy balance.
MOTS-C activates the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, mimicking exercise-induced metabolic adaptations while enhancing glucose uptake and promoting fat oxidation in skeletal muscle.
Research demonstrates MOTS-C's protective effects against obesity, type 2 diabetes, and age-related metabolic decline through improved insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial biogenesis stimulation.
Studies reveal its role in cellular stress resistance and mitochondrial function, protecting against metabolic dysfunction while enhancing metabolic flexibility during aging.
MOTS-C coordinates enhanced insulin sensitivity, optimized fat oxidation, and stress-resistant metabolism, offering researchers a unique mitochondrial-encoded tool for investigating metabolic homeostasis and age-related decline.
