Research-use-only catalog item supplied for laboratory identification and research purposes. Not for human consumption.

Description

A 16-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene. Reference compound for studies of cellular energy regulation.

MOTS-c is a mitochondrially-encoded peptide that translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress and modulates AMPK signaling, folate–methionine cycle intermediates, and adaptive nuclear gene expression. It links mitochondrial status with systemic metabolic homeostasis.

N° 002 — Mechanism of Action
