MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for insulin sensitivity, energy expenditure, and metabolic homeostasis.
Testing & quality
Every batch is supplier-tested for identity and purity and randomly verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry.
Compound classification
16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded in the 12S rRNA region of mtDNA.
Mechanism studied in the literature
Activates AMPK signaling and modulates folate-methionine cycle flux. Studied for its role as a metabolic regulator linking mitochondrial output to whole-cell energy state in preclinical models.
Research areas
- Mitochondrial bioenergetics
- AMPK / metabolic stress signaling
- Insulin sensitivity in cell and animal models
