What research has studied about MOTS-c
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It was first described in 2015 and belongs to a small family of mitochondrial-derived peptides.
Laboratory research on MOTS-c has examined its role in cellular metabolic signalling, including the AMPK pathway, and in exercise-physiology models in cells and animals. These are preclinical findings. The material is supplied for laboratory research only and is not for human or veterinary use.
