MOTS-c — Powder

MOTS-c Lyophilized Powder – Vial – Research Use Only

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial and is actively studied for its role as a metabolic regulator that communicates between mitochondria and the nucleus.

In laboratory settings, researchers examine how MOTS-c influences metabolic homeostasis, particularly its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity, regulate glucose metabolism, and activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways.

Researchers commonly study MOTS-c to explore its potential involvement in:

• Metabolic regulation and energy homeostasis
• Insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake mechanisms
• Mitochondrial function and biogenesis
• Exercise-mimetic effects and physical performance pathways
• Fat metabolism and weight management signaling
• Age-related metabolic decline and longevity research
• Protection against diet-induced metabolic dysfunction
• Inflammation and oxidative stress modulation

As a mitochondria-derived peptide, MOTS-c serves as a valuable research tool for investigating cellular metabolism, mitochondrial signaling, aging biology, and metabolic disorders in controlled laboratory environments.
