MOTS-C

MOTS-C Peptide Product Details

What is the MOTS-C Peptide?

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-C) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids. It is encoded by mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA, which is atypical for bioactive peptides. 

Discovered in recent years, MOTS-C has attracted attention for its potential regulatory roles in cellular metabolism, particularly in relation to mitochondrial function and stress responses.

How Does MOTS-C Peptide Work?

MOTS-C exerts its biological effects through modulation of key metabolic pathways. Studies in non-human models have shown that MOTS-C interacts with folate and purine biosynthesis pathways, thereby influencing energy homeostasis. 

It has also been observed to activate AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a central energy sensor that promotes catabolic processes while inhibiting anabolic processes during cellular stress. 

Furthermore, MOTS-C has been linked to enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism, contributing to improved cellular resilience in preclinical research.

It is important to note that these findings are based on in vitro and animal studies, and the full pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of MOTS-C remains under investigation.
