Research overview

MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide first described in 2015 1.

Mouse studies have examined its role in metabolic regulation and skeletal muscle, including direct binding to the kinase CK2 12. A 2023 review summarizes the field 3.
