MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA that acts as a regulator of metabolic homeostasis and cellular stress. It primarily targets skeletal muscle, enhancing glucose metabolism, improving insulin sensitivity, and acting as an exercise-induced "metabolic switch" to increase physical performance.
Key Aspects of MOTS-c Peptide:
- Mechanism of Action: MOTS-c moves to the nucleus during metabolic stress, directing gene expression to promote cellular balance. It activates the AMPK pathway—a key metabolic regulator—and inhibits the folate cycle, which helps combat obesity and insulin resistance.
- Metabolic Benefits: Research indicates MOTS-c can prevent diet-induced obesity, improve insulin resistance, and enhance metabolic flexibility in skeletal muscle.
Administration: subcutaneous injections.
MOTS-c is considered a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that plays a critical role in bridging the gap between mitochondrial function and nuclear metabolic regulation.
