Product Overview:
MOTS-c is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP)encoded within the 12S rRNA of mitochondrial DNA. It plays a regulatory role in cellular metabolism and has been the subject of research into insulin sensitization, fatty acid oxidation, and stress resistance pathways, particularly in skeletal muscle and liver models.
Studies suggest MOTS-c may:
-
Improve glucose metabolism and insulin signaling
-
Activate AMPK and other metabolic regulators
-
Enhance mitochondrial function under stress conditions
-
Support weight regulation and metabolic health in preclinical models
Applications in Research:
-
Research on type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
-
Investigations into mitochondrial biogenesis and homeostasis
-
Models exploring aging, metabolic syndrome, and obesity
-
Studies on cellular resilience to oxidative and nutritional stress
Storage & Handling:
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Reconstitute with sterile bacteriostatic water. After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C and use within typical laboratory stability windows. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
