MOTS-C 10mg | Mitochondrial-Derived Research Peptide
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is investigated in laboratory and preclinical research involving cellular metabolism, mitochondrial signalling, metabolic stress responses and AMPK-associated pathways.
This product is supplied as 10mg lyophilised MOTS-C exclusively for laboratory and research purposes.
Not intended for human or veterinary use. This product is supplied exclusively for laboratory and analytical research.
Research overview.
MOTS-C, short for Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C, is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide first characterised as a signalling molecule encoded within mitochondrial DNA.
MOTS-C has become a compound of interest in research examining communication between mitochondrial and nuclear systems, cellular energy metabolism and responses to metabolic stress.
Published experimental research has investigated its relationship with the folate-AICAR-AMPK pathway, metabolic homeostasis and regulation of nuclear gene expression. Studies have also demonstrated that MOTS-C can translocate to the nucleus in response to metabolic stress and influence stress-responsive gene expression.
Pro-Peptides supplies MOTS-C as a 10mg lyophilised peptide exclusively for controlled laboratory, analytical and preclinical research.
