MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide known for its unique biological activity in regulating metabolic homeostasis. Unlike most hormones encoded by nuclear genes, MOTS-c is encoded by mitochondrial genes, allowing it to exert physiological effects through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Research indicates that MOTS-c activates the AMPK (adenylate-activated protein kinase) pathway, enhancing glucose uptake by increasing glucose transport carriers on cell membranes. Additionally, it inhibits the synthesis of fat metabolism-related genes, reducing lipid droplet deposition, and promotes the activation of brown fat while decreasing white fat accumulation, thereby improving overall lipid metabolism.
