Mots- C

Description

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived research peptide widely used to explore cellular energy balance, glucose control, lipid metabolism, and stress-response pathways. Its stability and mitochondrial origin make it valuable in studies related to metabolic health, aging, and skeletal muscle biology.

 Strictly for laboratory research. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human use.

PRODUCT INFO

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide made up of sixteen amino acids and encoded by the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. It is one of the rare examples of a peptide that comes directly from mitochondria rather than the nucleus, which makes it scientifically valuable for laboratories studying how cells sense, communicate, and adapt to changes in energy demand.

Over the last few years, MOTS-c peptide has become a widely researched model in metabolism, aging, and mitochondrial signaling biology due to its unique ability to respond to cellular stress.
