Research context
Cell and animal studies have examined MOTS-C as a mitochondrially encoded signalling peptide in metabolic homeostasis, cellular stress responses and mitonuclear communication.
Areas studied
- Mitochondrial-derived peptide signalling
- Cellular metabolic homeostasis
- AMPK-linked stress responses
- Mitonuclear communication
Limitations and investigational status
The cited work is principally mechanistic cell research and animal research. Findings from these experimental systems do not establish effects in humans.
