MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. Preclinical research has investigated its role as a metabolic regulator, including translocation to the nucleus under metabolic stress, activation of AMPK signaling, and effects on glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity in skeletal-muscle research models. It is studied within the broader mitochondrial-derived-peptide field connecting mitochondrial genome output to systemic metabolic regulation.
