MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S ribosomal RNA gene of the mitochondrial genome. It has been the subject of growing research interest for its role in metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity signaling, and cellular energy homeostasis. Published studies have examined MOTS-c’s interactions with AMPK pathways, its observed effects on glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cell models, and its potential role as a mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde signaling molecule.
