MOTS-c, mitochondrial ORF peptide

MOTS-c means mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c. Lee and colleagues reported a 16-residue peptide from a short open reading frame in mitochondrial 12S rRNA (Cell Metabolism, 2015, PMID 25738459). The paper discusses cellular-energy models, including the folate cycle and AMPK, in the systems the authors measured. Those findings are not a specification on a catalogue label, and this page does not restate the paper's animal endpoints as a product claim.
