MOTS-c

MOTS-c is a 16 amino acid peptide that is coded by the mitochondrial genome that plays a protective role in metabolic disorders  

It's encoded by the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and is expressed in response to stress or exercise. MOTS-c is translocated to the nucleus, where it regulates genes related to stress adaptation. It interacts with and regulates nuclear genome-encoded proteins, including AMPK and mTORC1, which control metabolic adaptability and age-related diseases.
