MOTS-C

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial peptide used in laboratories to study how cellular energy, metabolism, and oxidative stress are regulated.

The peptide is derived from mitochondrial DNA and plays a role in energy production, glucose metabolism, and muscle function.

Research Findings:
In in-vitro studies, MOTS-C has been shown to influence metabolic pathways such as the AMPK signaling pathway, which is involved in energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity.

It is used to study the relationship between aging, metabolism, and physical performance.

Researchers also investigate the potential role of MOTS-C in muscle recovery and stress adaptation.
