MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome itself rather than the nuclear genome. It is one of the first identified members of the mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) family.

In published preclinical literature, MOTS-c has been investigated for its role in cellular energy metabolism via the AMPK pathway, with studies examining glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic homeostasis in rodent models. Plasma MOTS-c concentrations have been documented to decline with age in human studies, which has driven academic interest in its biology.

The peptide is most-cited alongside investigations of AMPK activation, mitochondrial bioenergetics, exercise physiology, and obesity / insulin-resistance models. It has not been approved by the FDA for any therapeutic indication and remains classified as a research compound.

MOTS-c is one of the first identified mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) — peptides encoded by the mitochondrial genome rather than by nuclear DNA. The 16-amino-acid sequence (MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR) is read from the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial DNA and translated within the mitochondrion itself. Most other research peptides are nuclear-encoded; MDPs are a relatively new class with distinct biology. This is part of why MOTS-c is studied separately from other GH-axis or tissue-repair peptides — it sits in a different signaling family.
