MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome. It is one of the most exciting peptides in longevity and metabolic research due to its ability to regulate metabolism, enhance exercise capacity, and improve insulin sensitivity.
Key Features
- Regulates metabolic homeostasis
- Enhances mitochondrial function and biogenesis
- Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
- Increases fatty acid oxidation
- Promotes exercise performance and endurance
