MOTS-C (10 mg) — Research Peptide Vial

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) composed of 16 amino acids. It is encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and is commonly referenced in research exploring mitochondrial signaling, cellular stress adaptation, and metabolic regulation pathways.

Overview

MOTS-C has been examined in preclinical research settings for its relationship to pathways involved in cellular energy regulation (often discussed alongside AMPK signaling), insulin sensitivity, and broader metabolic homeostasis. Ongoing scientific interest also includes age-associated metabolic regulation and mitochondrial communication.
