Catalyst Compounds MOTS-c

Description

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene region. It is investigated as a regulator of metabolic balance acting through AMPK-linked signaling.

Laboratory work has explored glucose handling, insulin responsiveness, AMPK activation, mitochondrial stress adaptation, and exercise-related metabolic shifts in cell and rodent systems. Its mitochondrial origin makes it a distinctive probe for metabolic signaling research.

Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
