MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA and expressed in various tissues. It has been studied for its potential to regulate metabolic homeostasis, enhance insulin sensitivity, and activate AMPK-dependent pathways in response to cellular stress.
Preclinical research has explored its role in improving glucose tolerance, reducing fat accumulation, and supporting mitochondrial function — making it a promising compound in obesity, aging, and metabolic disease studies.
This compound is offered as a lyophilized powder in sterile, unlabeled glass vials to ensure purity and versatility in research settings. Our 10-vial research kits are produced under stringent quality control protocols and are independently batch-tested for identity and purity.
Each vial is intended for in vitro use only. Not for human consumption. Not for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
