MOTS-c: Mitochondrial Derived Peptide Research Use Only | ≥99% Purity
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the Twelve S rRNA-c) is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S ribosomal RNA gene of the mitochondrial genome. As a member of the emerging class of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs), MOTS-c has attracted significant research interest for its role in mitochondrial-nuclear communication, metabolic homeostasis signaling, and cellular stress response pathways in controlled laboratory settings.
MOTS-c has been studied in preclinical research models for its interactions with AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) signaling pathways, glucose metabolism regulation, and insulin sensitivity mechanisms, making it a research tool of particular interest to investigators studying mitochondrial biology, metabolic signaling, and cellular energetics.
All USA Made Peps MOTS-c is tested by an independent laboratory on every shipped lot (chromatographic purity by UPLC with area normalization, and identity by mass spectrometry); every lot we have published has tested at 99% or higher, our written guarantee is 98.0% (see the specification block), and each shipped lot is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis.
Available size:
Supplied as lyophilized powder. Store at -20°C. For research use only.
