MOTS-c is a structurally unique 16-amino-acid peptide encoded directly within the mitochondrial genome. Functioning as an autonomous signaling molecule, it plays a central role in systemic metabolic regulation, cellular energy balance, and longevity pathways.
Often researched as an “exercise mimetic,” MOTS-c targets skeletal muscle tissue to upregulate glucose clearance and enhance fatty acid oxidation. By activating the AMPK signaling pathway, this novel peptide maintains cellular homeostasis under metabolic stress, making it a premier compound in contemporary anti-aging and metabolic research.
