About this compound

MOTS-C – Mitochondrial Peptide for Metabolism & Cellular Function

  • Composition: MOTS-C (lyophilized peptide powder)
  • Category: Peptide
  • Form: Vial containing freeze-dried powder

What is MOTS-C?

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-C) is a mitochondria-derived peptide that is naturally encoded in human mitochondrial DNA.

It is the subject of intensive research due to its ability to regulate cellular energy metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and protect the body against metabolic stress.

MOTS-C acts via the AMPK signaling pathway, influencing glucose utilization, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial function, making it a significant molecule in longevity and metabolic research.

Ideal for research focused on mitochondrial signaling, aging processes, and metabolic regulation.

Key Research Findings

Metabolic regulation: Improves glucose uptake and enhances insulin sensitivity.

Cellular protection: Supports mitochondrial integrity under oxidative stress.

Fat metabolism: Promotes efficient energy utilization and lipid metabolism.

Longevity research: Associated with anti-aging and performance-related studies.

Storage Instructions

  • Store at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F).
  • Protect from light and moisture.
  • Do not freeze.
  • Avoid temperature fluctuations.

Why Choose MOTS-C?

MOTS-C represents a new class of mitochondrially encoded peptides with far-reaching implications for research in metabolism, aging, and cellular regeneration.

Its unique mechanism of action via AMPK activation makes it a valuable research tool for understanding the link between mitochondrial health and systemic metabolism.

Order MOTS-C and expand your research in mitochondrial and metabolic sciences.
