MOTS-c

mitochondrial ORF of the twelve S rRNA-c · MOTSc · mitochondrial-derived peptide

Mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in metabolic and exercise-physiology research.

About MOTS-c

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA, studied in metabolic-regulation and exercise-physiology research. It is a reference mitochondrial-derived peptide. TagPep is adding MOTS-c as a research-use-only reference material.

Mechanism studied in research

Studied for translocation to the nucleus and modulation of AMPK-associated metabolic-stress pathways in cellular and metabolic research models.

Areas of research investigation

  • Mitochondrial-signaling research
  • AMPK and metabolic-stress assays
  • Exercise-physiology models
  • Insulin-sensitivity studies

Laboratory handling

Lyophilized; reconstituted with sterile or bacteriostatic water for research and refrigerated; powder frozen and light-protected.

MOTS-c research FAQ

What makes MOTS-c unusual?

It is encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear genome, making it a reference 'mitochondrial-derived peptide' in metabolic research.

Is MOTS-c available now?

It is on the research roadmap. Contact TagPep to be notified when a documented batch is released.

Research use only. MOTS-c is supplied as a laboratory reference material for in-vitro and research applications. It is not a drug, supplement or medical product, and is not intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, or clinical application.
