MOTS-c

Product Information

MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (C101H152N28O22S2, 2174.6 g/mol) with remarkable exercise-mimetic properties that activate the AMPK pathway and regulate cellular metabolism. This unique peptide originates from mitochondrial DNA, representing a novel class of signaling molecules. Laboratory studies demonstrate improved glucose uptake, reduced fat accumulation, protection against oxidative stress, and potential to extend cellular healthspan. Research applications focus on metabolic health optimization, cellular energy management, neuroprotection mechanisms, longevity and aging pathways, and cardiovascular support systems. MOTS-c enhances insulin sensitivity and modulates gene expression related to metabolic regulation. The peptide's ability to mimic exercise adaptations at the cellular level makes it particularly valuable for understanding metabolic flexibility and mitochondrial signaling. MOTS-c represents a cutting-edge tool for mitochondrial and metabolic research. For laboratory research purposes only.
