MOTS-C – Research Peptide

Description:

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the Twelve S-codon region–C) is a naturally occurring 16–amino acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, distinguishing it from most peptides derived from nuclear genes. It has gained significant research interest for its involvement in metabolic regulation, mitochondrial signaling, cellular stress response, and energy homeostasis in preclinical studies.

Scientific literature indicates that MOTS-C may modulate pathways related to AMPK activation, insulin sensitivity, glucose utilization, and fatty-acid oxidation. Its ability to influence metabolic balance at the cellular and mitochondrial levels makes MOTS-C a valuable tool in experimental frameworks exploring metabolism, aging, cellular resilience, and mitochondrial biology.

Its small size, unique origin, and biological activity have made MOTS-C a prominent research peptide in metabolic, longevity, and mitochondrial-function studies.
