Research applications
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR) encoded by the 12S rRNA region of mtDNA. It is studied in metabolic-flexibility and insulin-sensitivity research, AMPK-pathway activation, exercise-mimetic effects on skeletal muscle, and age-related metabolic decline models.
