MOTS-c in San Diego, California

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the Twelve S rRNA type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide consisting of 16 amino acids, encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It was discovered in 2015 by Professor Pinchas Cohen at the University of Southern California and has since been recognized as an important signaling molecule linking mitochondrial function to nuclear gene regulation and systemic metabolism. MOTS-c is unique because it originates from mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA, making it part of a newly discovered class of signaling molecules that redefine our understanding of mitochondrial biology. It has shown remarkable promise in metabolic regulation and exercise physiology.
