MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-derived peptide, 12S rRNA-encoded
A 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene — one of a small class of peptides discovered to be directly mitochondrially encoded rather than nuclear-encoded — studied as an exercise-responsive signaling molecule linking mitochondrial function to metabolic regulation.
