MOTS-c

Description

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, representing a distinct class of mitochondrial-derived peptides studied in metabolic research.

In laboratory research, MOTS-c is examined for its proposed role in regulating cellular energy metabolism, including studies of its translocation to the nucleus under metabolic stress and its interaction with AMPK signaling pathways.

Researchers studying MOTS-c focus on its function as a communication signal between mitochondria and the nucleus, offering a research model for investigating mitochondrial-nuclear crosstalk and cellular adaptation to metabolic stress.

As one of the first characterized mitochondrial-derived peptides, MOTS-c has become a reference compound in the emerging field of mitochondrial peptide signaling research.

MOTS-c is supplied strictly for laboratory research into mitochondrial biology and metabolic signaling pathways.
