History
MOTS-c was first described in 2015 following the discovery of short open reading frames encoded within mitochondrial DNA. Identified as a peptide regulator of metabolic signaling, it has since been studied for its ability to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways and support cellular stress resistance. This discovery expanded the understanding of mitochondria as signaling organelles beyond energy production, positioning MOTS-c as a key peptide in mitochondrial biology research.
