MOTS-c – Research Grade Peptide

Lyophilised Powder | ≥99% Purity

MOTS-c is a synthetically manufactured research peptide supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder. It is characterised as a mitochondrial-derived signalling peptide and is supplied strictly for laboratory and analytical research applications.

Research Context

MOTS-c is currently studied in laboratory environments for its interaction with cellular metabolic signalling pathways. It is characterised as a mitochondria-encoded peptide, derived from the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region, and is investigated in research models for its role in cellular energy regulation.

Experimental studies have explored its interaction with pathways involved in:

• AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling
• Cellular metabolic stress response pathways
• Nuclear gene expression modulation in metabolic stress conditions

In experimental models, peptides within this signalling class are investigated for their potential roles in metabolic regulation, mitochondrial signalling, and cellular energy homeostasis.

Research interest in mitochondrial-derived peptides such as MOTS-c primarily focuses on understanding:

• Mitochondrial–nuclear communication signalling mechanisms
• Cellular adaptation to metabolic stress conditions
• Regulation of glucose utilisation pathways in metabolic models
• Mitochondrial peptide signalling within energy metabolism research

Any reference to receptor activity or biological mechanisms is provided strictly for scientific context within research settings.
