MOTS-c
Description
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome, discovered in 2015 by researchers at the University of Southern California. Unlike most peptides derived from nuclear DNA, MOTS-c is expressed from the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, making it one of a small class of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) with systemic signaling functions. Research has shown MOTS-c acts as a metabolic regulator, improving insulin sensitivity, enhancing exercise capacity, and demonstrating effects that mimic caloric restriction—one of the most robust interventions for extending lifespan in animal models. Its decline with age and restoration of youthful phenotypes in aged animals has made it a focus of aging research.
