MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome, representing the first identified mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) with systemic metabolic signaling activity. In skeletal muscle and adipocyte cultures it activates AMPK, increases FGF21 expression, and enhances glucose uptake independent of insulin. Its mitochondrial genome origin makes it a unique research tool for studying retrograde mito-nuclear communication and metabolic homeostasis pathways. Supplied lyophilized for in vitro research use only.
