Mots-C

Mots-C is a 16-amino acid peptide derived from mitochondrial DNA, known for its role in modulating cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis. Research indicates that Mots-C can activate the AMPK signaling pathway, promoting increased glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, which may have implications in metabolic disorders. This peptide serves as a valuable tool for researchers investigating the interplay between mitochondrial function and metabolic regulation, offering insights into potential therapeutic strategies for obesity and diabetes.
