Metabolic MOTS-C

Premium MOTS-C for mitochondrial research

MOTS-C — a mitochondrial-derived peptide — studied in metabolic signaling and cellular stress research.

MOTS-C

Research overview

MOTS-c is a short 16-amino-acid peptide that your body actually makes inside your cells' mitochondria — the power plants that generate your energy. What makes it unusual: nearly every peptide in your body is made from your regular DNA in the cell nucleus. MOTS-c is made from the tiny separate DNA that lives inside mitochondria. It's one of the first known "mitochondrial-derived peptides" and the first example of a mitochondria-made hormone. A team at USC discovered it in 2015. The first 11 amino acids are identical in 14 different mammal species, which suggests it has been doing an important job for a long evolutionary time.
