MOTS-c

MOTS-c

Product Overview

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondria-derived peptide consisting of 16 amino acids that plays a key role in cellular metabolism and energy regulation. In research settings, MOTS-c has been shown to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways, enhance glucose utilization, and improve mitochondrial function under metabolic stress.
It has attracted significant interest for its potential role in metabolic health, exercise performance, aging research, and insulin sensitivity studies.
This compound is intended strictly for laboratory research use only and is not approved for human or veterinary applications.
