MOTS-C
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome that regulates metabolism and insulin sensitivity. It acts as a signaling molecule, primarily targeting skeletal muscle to improve glucose metabolism and protect against age- and diet-dependent insulin resistance and obesity. Its levels in the body typically decrease with age, but increase in response to exercise.
