Mitochondria-encoded peptide for AMPK and metabolic research.
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a 16-amino acid mitochondria-derived peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome. Research has examined its role as a metabolic regulator that activates AMPK, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis via PGC-1α upregulation. MOTS-c translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress where it modulates gene expression related to glucose metabolism and oxidative stress response. Studies in cellular and animal models have linked MOTS-c to exercise mimicry and metabolic homeostasis. Supplied as lyophilized powder, ≥99% HPLC purity, LC-MS confirmed.
