MOTS-c

Description

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, encoded within mitochondrial DNA itself rather than the nuclear genome — a genetic origin that distinguishes it from essentially every other compound in this catalogue. It’s studied for its role as a metabolic regulator, translocating to the nucleus under metabolic stress to influence gene expression directly.

Because MOTS-c represents a distinct category of “mitochondrial-derived peptides” (MDPs) alongside compounds like humanin, it’s a frequently referenced compound in research on mitochondrial-nuclear communication and exercise-metabolism signalling.
