MOTS-c Research Peptide — 5mg Lyophilized
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the 12S rRNA gene of the mitochondrial genome. It was first characterized by the Lee laboratory at the University of Southern California. With a molecular weight of approximately 2,174 Da, MOTS-c has been studied as an exercise mimetic and metabolic regulator in numerous published preclinical studies.
Published research has demonstrated MOTS-c’s effects on AMPK activation, glucose regulation, and metabolic homeostasis in animal models and cell culture systems. It is an important research tool in mitochondrial biology, geroscience, and metabolic disease research.
