How it works

What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA rather than the DNA in the cell nucleus. It was first described by researchers in 2015 and belongs to a small group of what scientists call mitochondrial-derived peptides.

Research on MOTS-c has focused on how it may relate to metabolism and exercise. Most published studies to date are in cells and animals; human research is at an early stage.
