MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that has attracted significant interest in research due to its role in cellular energy production, metabolic regulation, and mitochondrial signaling. Derived from mitochondrial DNA, MOTS-c functions as a key signaling molecule linking mitochondrial activity to systemic metabolic processes. This article examines why researchers classify MOTS-c as a mitochondrial peptide, […]

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that has become a focal point in research due to its ability to regulate cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. Synthesized within mitochondria, MOTS-c can act locally and systemically, influencing metabolic signaling, energy homeostasis, and stress response pathways. Its unique mechanism makes it a valuable tool in the study […]
