Description
MOTS-c, short for Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c, is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide involved in cellular energy and metabolic signalling research.
It has been investigated in preclinical and cellular models for its relationship to metabolic homeostasis, glucose metabolism, skeletal muscle signalling, AMPK pathway activity, exercise adaptation, and age-associated metabolic function.
Synapse Peptides MOTS-c is supplied as a high-purity lyophilised research peptide for qualified laboratory use only.
