Research Focus Areas
MOTS-c is investigated in:
- AMPK Pathway Activation: Studied in models of insulin signaling, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular ATP regulation
- Metabolic Regulation: Applied in glucose metabolism, fat oxidation, and stress-response modeling
- Cellular Longevity & Stress Adaptation: Used in experiments related to oxidative stress, aging, and transcriptional response to metabolic strain
- Exercise Physiology Models: Evaluated in skeletal muscle studies for mitochondrial function, metabolic efficiency, and recovery kinetics
Mechanistic Background
In preclinical assays, MOTS-c has demonstrated the ability to:
- Translocate to the nucleus under metabolic stress conditions
- Regulate nuclear gene expression involved in energy metabolism
- Operate independently of the nuclear genome via mitochondrial-origin pathways
These properties make it a unique tool in mitochondrial stress biology and metabolic signaling studies.
