MOTS-c
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. It is believed to be involved in skeletal muscle and glucose metabolism. It is upregulated in response to exercise, and is considered an exercise mimetic.[1][2]
MOTS-c binds to casein kinase 2.[3]
