MOTS-c 

CAS Number: 1610353-26-9
Molecular Formula: C48H73NO13S
Molecular Weight: 1009.2 g/mol
Synonyms: Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c; MOTSc peptide

Description:
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. It has gained attention in research for its regulatory role in cellular metabolism, particularly in glucose utilization, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial function. MOTS-c is commonly studied in in vitro models examining metabolic signaling pathways, stress resistance, and AMPK activation. Due to its mitochondrial origin, it is also a subject of interest in age-related and metabolic disorder research.
