MOTS-c

MOTS-c is fundamentally different from most peptides. It is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Rather than targeting appetite or hormones, MOTS-c primarily affects cellular metabolism.

Proposed mechanisms of MOTS-c:

• Activates AMPK
• Improves insulin sensitivity
• Enhances glucose utilization
• Increases metabolic flexibility
• Improves mitochondrial efficiency
• Supports exercise performance

Why AMPK matters: AMPK is often called the body’s metabolic master switch. When activated, AMPK promotes fat utilization, glucose uptake, improved energy production, and better metabolic efficiency. This is one reason MOTS-c is frequently discussed in longevity, performance, and metabolic-health communities.

Potential benefits of MOTS-c:

• Improved insulin sensitivity
• Better glucose control
• Increased exercise capacity
• Enhanced mitochondrial function
• Improved metabolic flexibility

MOTS-c does not primarily work by reducing appetite
