- MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP), meaning it is one of the few peptides encoded by the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome.
- It functions as a mitokine, a signaling molecule that travels from the mitochondria to the rest of the cell, including the nucleus, to regulate gene expression and cellular function.
- A primary mechanism is the activation of the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) pathway. AMPK is a master regulator of cellular energy, and its activation by MOTS-c helps increase glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation (fat burning).
- By promoting metabolic flexibility and efficiency, MOTS-c helps restore cellular balance, especially under conditions of metabolic stress.
