Description

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids. It plays a unique role in cellular metabolism and energy regulation by targeting metabolic pathways and promoting cellular adaptation under stress conditions. This peptide is encoded within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), distinguishing it from most peptides that are encoded by nuclear DNA.

MOTS-C has been the focus of extensive research due to its potential applications in metabolic health, aging, and stress response. It has demonstrated promising effects in laboratory studies on improving insulin sensitivity, reducing fat accumulation, and enhancing mitochondrial function.
