MOTS-c

Product Description MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that acts as a metabolic regulator and exercise mimetic. Supplied as ≥98% pure lyophilized powder (HPLC/MS verified), it is designed for laboratory studies on mitochondrial function, metabolic homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and age-related metabolic decline.

Key Research Mechanism MOTS-c translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress and regulates gene expression involved in energy metabolism. It activates AMPK, enhances mitochondrial biogenesis, improves insulin sensitivity, and promotes fatty acid oxidation while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in research models.

Primary Research Areas

• Metabolic health and insulin sensitivity in obesity and diabetes models
• Mitochondrial function and biogenesis studies
• Exercise mimetic effects and energy expenditure research
• Age-related metabolic decline, longevity, and inflammation pathways
