MOTS-c 10mg

Description

MOTS c is a research grade mitochondrial derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids. It is encoded within the 12S ribosomal RNA region of mitochondrial DNA and is studied for its role in communication between mitochondrial and cellular signaling systems.

The identification of MOTS c expanded the understanding of mitochondrial biology by demonstrating that mitochondrial DNA can encode biologically active peptides with signaling activity beyond the mitochondria itself.

In laboratory research, MOTS c has been investigated for its influence on cellular metabolism, energy regulation, the folate methionine cycle, de novo purine synthesis, and AMP activated protein kinase signaling.

Cell based studies using skeletal muscle cells, adipocytes, and hepatocytes have examined changes in metabolic activity, gene expression, ATP to ADP ratios, and oxygen consumption following controlled MOTS c exposure.

Researchers also use MOTS c in experimental models involving exercise biology, metabolic stress, aging related cellular changes, and mitochondrial function. Its mitochondrial origin makes it especially valuable for studying retrograde signaling, the process through which mitochondria communicate with the nucleus and influence cellular adaptation.

This presentation is suitable for pilot studies, concentration response testing, metabolic flux analysis, cellular energy assessments, and comparative investigations involving mitochondrial signaling pathways.

Each PEPTEX Labs production lot is supplied as a research grade lyophilized peptide and accompanied by analytical documentation. Testing may include HPLC purity analysis, mass spectrometry identity verification, net content testing, and endotoxin analysis, depending on the individual batch.

This product is supplied exclusively for qualified laboratory research. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, clinical administration, or therapeutic application.
