MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids and encoded by the mitochondrial genome. It is studied for its role in metabolic regulation, mitochondrial signaling, and cellular stress adaptation. In vitro models explore MOTS-c’s effects on glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and AMPK pathway activation.
