Research Information
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, studied for its role in metabolic and mitochondrial research. Researchers are interested in how mitochondrial-derived peptides communicate with the nucleus and regulate metabolic pathways — particularly insulin sensitivity and glucose handling — in cell-culture studies. Most published work has used myocyte and adipocyte cell lines to examine AMPK pathway activation and exercise-related metabolic adaptation models.
Research areas
- AMPK signalling pathway studies
- Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) research
- Insulin sensitivity cell models
- Myocyte and adipocyte metabolic research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. All products are third-party tested for identity and purity.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Third-party tested
All products are third-party tested for identity and purity.
