MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the 12S ribosomal RNA region of the mitochondrial genome, one of the class of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs). It is used as a research tool for studying AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway activation and mitochondrial-nuclear signaling in cell-based models.

MOTS-c has been studied in the context of AMPK activation through the AICAR/ZMP pathway, in which it inhibits the folate cycle and de novo purine synthesis, leading to AICAR accumulation and AMPK phosphorylation. Published research has also examined its nuclear translocation under oxidative stress and its interaction with the Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway in vitro.
