MOTS-c | 10mg / 40mg | Research Use Only

16 amino acids. Encoded in mitochondrial DNA. That alone makes MOTS-c unusual most signaling peptides don't come from the mitochondrial genome.

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the Twelve S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, or MDP. It sits within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. In research literature, it gets classified as a mitokine a signaling peptide that originates from mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA. Most of the research around it focuses on metabolic and cellular stress response models. In vitro, not clinical.

Lab use only. Not for humans. Not for animals.

What researchers use it for:

MOTS-c shows up in a few specific research areas. Mitochondrial signaling pathway models are the most common. Metabolic regulation research is another — the peptide's origin in mitochondrial DNA makes it relevant to energy metabolism work. Cellular stress response studies use it too. AMPK pathway signaling is a growing area where it appears in the literature. Nuclear-mitochondrial communication studies round it out — researchers are interested in how MDPs move between compartments and what that does to intracellular signaling.

All of the above is strictly lab and investigational research. No medical claims. No therapeutic claims.

Researchers working on GHRH-related endocrine signaling may also find our Tesamorelin 20mg synthetic GHRH analog research peptide relevant.
