MOTS-C 10mg

Description

MOTS-c Peptide Overview

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is studied in research as a signaling molecule that links mitochondrial function to whole-cell metabolism, and is a leading subject in the emerging field of mitochondrial peptides.

AMPK Pathway Regulation

Under metabolic stress, MOTS-c translocates to the nucleus and is studied as an activator of AMPK, a master regulator of cellular energy. This signaling influences glucose utilization and metabolic flexibility in research models.

Insulin Sensitivity and Metabolic Homeostasis

MOTS-c is investigated for its effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose handling, positioning it as a compound of interest in metabolic-homeostasis research.

Exercise and Aging Research

Research links MOTS-c to exercise physiology and age-related metabolic decline, with studies examining how its levels change with physical activity and aging.
