Description
MOTS-c is a research peptide derived from mitochondria and composed of 16 amino acids (Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg). Encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, it regulates cellular metabolism through AMPK activation and mitochondrial homeostasis in preclinical studies. MOTS-c is widely used in metabolic and aging research investigating mitochondrial signaling, stress adaptation, and energy regulation mechanisms.
