About this compound
What is MOTS-C?
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within mitochondrial 12S rRNA.
The commonly cited sequence is MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR.
The current page keeps MOTS-C in cellular, preclinical, and observational research context.

Research background
What MOTS-C studies look at
The 2015 Cell Metabolism paper describes MOTS-C as a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in mitochondrial 12S rRNA.
Later papers look at AMPK-linked signalling, movement into the nucleus during metabolic stress, gene-expression response, GLUT4 context, mitofusion dependence, and CK2 binding in model systems.
Because this area often sits near age, exercise, and metabolism topics, the page keeps MOTS-C in cellular, preclinical, and observational research context.
