Verified Peptides MOTS-c

Description

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA, used as a reference peptide in metabolic research. Researchers study it as a metabolic regulator acting through AMPK-linked signaling.

In cultured cells and laboratory animals, investigations have focused on glucose use, insulin sensitivity, AMPK activation, mitochondrial stress responses, and exercise-related adaptation. Its mitochondrial origin gives it a distinct research role.

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