MOTS-c 10mg

MOTS-c 10mg is a synthetic peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA and classified as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP). It has gained significant attention in preclinical research for its potential role in regulating metabolic homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy production.

Supplied as a 10mg lyophilised powder, MOTS-c is manufactured to high-purity standards to support researchers investigating mitochondrial signaling, exercise physiology, and age-related metabolic changes.

What Is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a naturally occurring peptide produced within mitochondria. It is believed to influence nuclear gene expression and activate pathways involved in glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and stress adaptation.

Research suggests that MOTS-c may interact with key metabolic regulators such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), making it a valuable tool in studies focused on metabolism and mitochondrial health.
