MOTS-c is a short peptide, encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It is known as a Mitochondrial Derived Peptide (MDP). MDPs are discussed in the literature in the context of mitochondrial signaling, and inter-organelle communication within experimental systems.

Research

Mitochondrial signaling-associated molecular components

Mechanistic discussions in preclinical publications describe MOTS-c in relation to intracellular signaling pathways associated with energy-sensing and stress-responsive molecular frameworks, including components of the AMPK signaling framework.

Nuclear translocation phenomena under experimental conditions

References describe experimental observations of MOTS-c localization to the nucleus under defined laboratory conditions, alongside reported associations with transcriptional regulation of nuclear-encoded genes. These descriptions are limited to molecular and biochemical observations within experimental systems.

All pathway-related descriptions are restricted to non-clinical research contexts and do not imply functional outcomes.
