MOTS-C

Price range: $40.00 through $640.00

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a unique mitochondrial-derived peptide that functions as a systemic signaling molecule. In research settings, it is primarily studied for its role in metabolic homeostasis and its ability to regulate the AICAR-AMPK pathway. MOTS-c is unique because it is encoded in the mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear DNA. Research indicates that it targets skeletal muscle to enhance glucose metabolism and increase fatty acid oxidation. It is widely utilized in studies involving aging, obesity, and physical performance, as it appears to mimic many of the physiological benefits of exercise at a cellular level. This high-purity lyophilized reagent provides a consistent standard for exploring mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes MOTS-c unique among peptides?
Unlike most peptides encoded in the cell’s nucleus, MOTS-c is encoded within the mitochondrial genome, acting as a “mitochondrial hormone.”
It is researched for its ability to target the skeletal muscle and increase glucose uptake, effectively mimicking the effects of exercise.
