For Research Use Only.
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid
peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. First identified in 2015, it belongs to a class of
mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) that have attracted growing interest for their role in
modulating cellular metabolism, stress adaptation, and homeostatic signaling pathways in
various research models.
Key Characteristics
• Peptide Class: Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP)
• Length: 16 amino acids
• Origin: Encoded by mitochondrial 12S rRNA
• Molecular Focus: Mitochondrial signaling, metabolic regulation, and cytoprotective
mechanisms
Mechanisms of Interest (As Studied in Literature)
• AMPK Pathway Activation: MOTS-c has been observed to influence AMP-activated
protein kinase (AMPK) activity, a master regulator of cellular energy balance
• Metabolic Regulation: Explored for its potential to modulate glucose and lipid metabolism
in preclinical models
• Stress Response Adaptation: Investigated for its role in oxidative stress resilience and
cellular survival pathways
Research Focus Areas
• Mitochondrial Health and Function Studies
• Age-Associated Cellular Mechanisms
• Metabolic Stress Models
• Longevity and Cytoprotection Research
Notable Observations in Literature
• Studied in relation to insulin sensitivity and energy homeostasis
• Shown to influence gene expression patterns tied to metabolic stress responses• Interest
in MOTS-c continues to expand in aging-related molecular biology research
