OVERVIEW
MOTS-c is a research peptide used in preclinical laboratory models involving metabolic, mitochondrial, immune, or regenerative pathways.
What is it?
MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome and studied in investigational and in vitro research settings for its role in cellular metabolic signaling. Unlike nuclear-encoded peptides, MOTS-c originates from mitochondrial DNA, positioning it as a unique signaling molecule in mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication pathways.
In preclinical and laboratory research models, MOTS-c has been examined for its influence on energy sensing pathways, insulin-related metabolic signaling, and cellular stress adaptation. These characteristics have made it a compound of interest in experimental studies exploring mitochondrial regulation, metabolic flexibility, and adaptive cellular responses to energetic demand.
