MOTS-c – Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide (MDP) Research Compound
Compound Name: MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Peptide)
Classification: Research Peptide – Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide (MDP)
Description:
MOTS-c is a synthetic mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) composed of 16 amino acids and encoded within mitochondrial DNA. In controlled laboratory research settings, it is widely studied for its involvement in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial signaling pathways, and energy-regulation mechanisms. Researchers frequently examine MOTS-c in biochemical and in-vitro model systems to explore its influence on metabolic homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose-regulating pathways, insulin-related signaling cascades, and cellular stress-response processes.
In research environments, MOTS-c serves as a valuable tool for investigating mitochondrial activity, metabolic adaptation, and peptide-mediated regulatory mechanisms associated with cellular function and homeostatic balance.
