Description
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide that plays a key role in regulating cellular metabolism, energy homeostasis, and stress response. It is involved in promoting metabolic flexibility by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), enhancing glucose metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity. MOTS-c has been shown in research to support mitochondrial function, metabolic health, and longevity.

- Investigation of anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects
- Bone metabolism and support for osteoporosis models
- Potential protective effects against metabolic and inflammatory diseases
Key Research & Reports
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-c activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of cellular energy balance. This activation promotes increased glucose uptake and utilization, enhanced lipid metabolism, and reduced inflammation, thereby improving metabolic health and resilience to stress at the cellular level.
