Product Overview
MOTS-c is a research peptide derived from mitochondria and composed of 16 amino acids (Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg). Encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, it regulates cellular metabolism through AMPK activation and mitochondrial homeostasis in preclinical studies. MOTS-c is widely used in metabolic and aging research investigating mitochondrial signaling, stress adaptation, and energy regulation mechanisms.
MOTS-c is a short peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome and has been described in the scientific literature as a member of the mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) class. Publications discussing MDPs describe these peptides in the context of mitochondrial signaling and inter-organelle communication within experimental systems. Reports involving MOTS-c describe its identification in cellular compartments including mitochondria and the nucleus under defined experimental conditions. Observations of peptide localization and molecular interactions are limited to non-clinical research settings and are reported as descriptive findings within cellular and animal model studies.
