Description

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a research-use-only, naturally occurring 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome. In laboratory environments, it is extensively utilized to investigate the systemic regulation of metabolic homeostasis, cellular insulin sensitivity, and the activation of the AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) signaling pathway. Researchers frequently study its role in promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, enhancing skeletal muscle glucose uptake, and counteracting age-associated or diet-induced metabolic dysregulation in cellular and animal models. It is intended strictly for laboratory research and should not be used for human consumption, medical treatment, or diagnostic purposes.
