MOTS-C

MOTS-c – Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide for Metabolic Research

Product Overview:

MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome, recognized for its vital role in cellular metabolism and energy regulation. As a member of the mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) family, MOTS-c stands out for its ability to translocate to the nucleus under metabolic stress—an attribute that enables it to influence the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, antioxidant defense, and metabolic adaptation.

This unique mechanism makes MOTS-c a valuable tool in research focused on metabolic disorders, aging, and cellular resilience.

Key Research Highlights:

• Encoded by the mitochondrial genome
• Supports studies on energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation
• Regulates nuclear gene expression during cellular stress
• Implicated in pathways related to longevity, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial health
