MOTS-C
MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA. It has emerged as a significant research compound in the study of metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy metabolism. Research suggests MOTS-C may play a role in AMPK pathway activation and has been described as an exercise mimetic in preclinical studies.
