About this Compound

MOT-C (MOTS-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA — one of a small class of mitochondrial-derived peptides discovered in the last decade. It has drawn significant research attention in metabolism, exercise physiology, and aging models, where it appears to act as a mitochondrial signal to the rest of the cell.

Proposed Mechanism

Preclinical studies report AMPK pathway activation, enhanced glucose utilization, and improved insulin sensitivity in rodent models, with translocation to the nucleus under metabolic stress suggesting a role in nuclear gene regulation. It has been described in the literature as an exercise-mimetic signal originating from the mitochondrial genome.
