MOTS-c

Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c

A 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear genome — a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied as an exercise mimetic.

What the literature describes

MOTS-c is translated from a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, making it one of a small class of mitochondrially encoded hormones. Published work reports that it targets skeletal muscle, regulates the folate–methionine cycle, activates AMPK, and improves insulin sensitivity in rodent models of diet-induced obesity. It is described in the literature as exercise-induced, with treatment of aged mice reported to improve physical capacity and produce adaptations resembling those of physical activity. A pro-diabetogenic mtDNA polymorphism within MOTS-c has been characterised in East Asian populations.
