MOTS-c

Mitochondria-Derived Peptide

A mitochondria-derived peptide studied for its metabolic and exercise-mimicking properties.

Overview

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. Research has investigated its role as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that regulates metabolic homeostasis and acts as an exercise mimetic.

Research Information

Research on MOTS-c has demonstrated its ability to activate AMPK and regulate glucose metabolism. Studies have shown it can improve insulin sensitivity and exercise capacity in animal models. Research has also explored its role in aging, with levels declining with age, and its potential in metabolic disease models.

Research Dosage Reference

Research protocols use subcutaneous administration. Standard vials contain 5mg lyophilized powder. All dosing information is for research reference only.
