MOTS-c

A 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial 12S rRNA and studied in cellular metabolism and stress-response research.

In laboratory research, MOTS-c is primarily examined in relation to mitochondrial signalling, glucose metabolism, cellular stress responses and metabolic adaptation. The strength and type of evidence vary by compound and may be limited to mechanistic, cell-culture or animal studies.
