A 16-residue peptide encoded inside the mitochondria, in the 12S rRNA gene. Used as a reference compound in studies of how cells manage energy. Tested at 99%+ purity.
Supplied as a lyophilized MOTS-c reference compound for laboratory research use only. We ship it from Ontario, Canada with tracked Canada Post delivery and 2 to 8°c, protect from light handling. Molecular weight ≈ 2 174 Da. A Certificate of Analysis is available on verified request.
N° 002 · Mechanism of Action
How MOTS-c acts at the molecular level.
Under metabolic stress, MOTS-c moves into the cell nucleus and helps regulate energy through AMPK signaling and the folate and methionine cycle. Researchers study it as a link between mitochondrial health and whole-body metabolism.
