MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA, type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide naturally encoded within mitochondrial DNA and expressed in human cells. It has become a key focus in metabolic research due to its role in cellular energy regulation and adaptive stress responses. In controlled laboratory environments, MOTS-C is investigated for its involvement in pathways related to glucose metabolism, insulin signaling, and mitochondrial function. Research suggests it may play a role in regulating metabolic homeostasis and enhancing cellular responses to metabolic stress, making it a valuable compound in studies of energy balance and endurance physiology. Common research applications include: mitochondrial function and bioenergetics; glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity pathways; metabolic stress and adaptive cellular responses; and endurance and exercise-related performance models.
