MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide consisting of 16 amino acids and encoded within mitochondrial DNA. Unlike nuclear-encoded peptides, MOTS-c represents a class of signaling molecules involved in communication between mitochondria and the nucleus. Researchers utilize MOTS-c in laboratory studies exploring metabolic regulation, mitochondrial signaling, cellular stress responses, and age-associated changes in energy metabolism.
Research suggests MOTS-c is involved in several key biological processes related to metabolism and cellular energy regulation:
AMPK Activation & Metabolic Signaling
MOTS-c has been shown to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a central regulator of cellular energy balance, making it relevant for metabolic and insulin-sensitivity research.
Glucose Uptake & Skeletal Muscle Metabolism
Experimental models associate MOTS-c with increased skeletal-muscle glucose uptake and improved metabolic flexibility, supporting studies of muscle energetics and substrate utilization.
Exercise-Related Pathways
MOTS-c levels rise in response to physical activity, positioning it as a research target in exercise physiology and mitochondrial adaptation studies.
Mitochondrial–Nuclear Communication
As a mitochondrial-encoded peptide, MOTS-c participates in signaling pathways that coordinate mitochondrial function with nuclear gene expression under metabolic stress.
Immune & Inflammatory Modulation
Preclinical studies have examined MOTS-c’s influence on immune cell activity and inflammatory signaling in infection and stress models.
