Research Notes
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome, identified in 2015 by researchers at the University of Southern California. Its origin in the 12S ribosomal RNA gene distinguishes it from virtually all other signalling peptides, which are typically encoded in nuclear DNA.
Research interest centres on its potential role as a mitochondrial signalling molecule: a peptide produced by the energy-generating organelle that may communicate metabolic state to the rest of the cell. Preclinical studies have examined its effects on glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy homeostasis.
The peptide's unique genomic origin makes it a valuable tool for studying mitochondrial signalling, the biology of which remains an active and evolving research field.
