What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) discovered in 2015 at USC. Encoded in mitochondrial DNA, it's been called the "mitochondrial exercise signal" - its metabolic effects mirror many exercise adaptations, even without physical activity.
Why It Matters
MOTS-c is nicknamed the "exercise pill peptide." It triggers many of the same metabolic benefits as working out - better fat burning, improved blood sugar, more energy - without the treadmill. Your body naturally makes less of it as you age.
Key Research Areas
- AMPK activation - master energy sensor activation promotes fat oxidation, glucose uptake, and autophagy
- Exercise mimetic - improved exercise capacity and metabolic fitness in mouse models without exercise
- Insulin-independent glucose uptake - skeletal muscle glucose disposal independent of insulin signaling
- Aging - MOTS-c levels decline with age; supplementation restored metabolic parameters in aged mice
- Immune function - influences T-cell metabolism and differentiation
