MOTS-c
Contact Us →MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on metabolic health, cellular protection, and aging.
Studies have shown that MOTS-c activates AMPK pathways, improves glucose uptake, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes lipid oxidation. It may also play a role in mitochondrial function, inflammation control, and resistance to oxidative stress.
Key Research Areas:
-
AMPK activation and metabolic regulation
-
Insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
-
Cellular resilience to oxidative stress
-
Mitochondrial protection and longevity studies
-
Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective pathways
