Description
Product Overview
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. First identified by researchers at the University of Southern California in 2015, MOTS-C has been studied extensively in preclinical research models for its role in mitochondrial function, glucose metabolism, and cellular energy homeostasis.
This research compound is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form for reconstitution with bacteriostatic water prior to use in laboratory settings. PeptixBio provides MOTS-C at research-grade purity, verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.
Research Applications
MOTS-C has been investigated in preclinical research models for:
- AMPK pathway activation and metabolic regulation
- Insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis studies
- Mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular energy modulation
- Age-related metabolic decline research
- Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle metabolism
