MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids. In laboratory settings, MOTS-c has been widely studied for its involvement in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial signaling, energy regulation, and adaptive responses to metabolic stress.

Researchers utilize MOTS-c in controlled laboratory environments to investigate mitochondrial function, glucose metabolism, cellular energy pathways, stress-response mechanisms, and metabolic homeostasis. Its ability to participate in communication between the mitochondria and the cell nucleus has made it a valuable compound for research across multiple areas of cellular, metabolic, and molecular biology.
