Biology:MOTS-c

From HandWiki

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]

Society and culture

Researchers discovered MOTS-c in 2015.[4]

MOTS-c is not approved to treat any medical condition and is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, explicitly beginning in 2024.[5]
