MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA gene of the mitochondrial genome. Discovered in 2015, it acts as a mitochondrial-derived peptide that regulates nuclear gene expression, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic homeostasis.

MOTS-c is a peptide hormone encoded in the mitochondrial genome. It regulates metabolic homeostasis and enhances physical performance. It is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that promotes biosynthesis of the endogenous AMP analog AICAR and consequently AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Induces cellular and systemic glucose uptake and improves insulin sensitivity. Shown to prevent diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice. Potential anti-obesity and anti-aging compound.
