About MOTS-c
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a peptide encoded not in the nucleus but within the mitochondrial genome itself. Since its description in 2015 it has become a central subject in research on metabolic homeostasis, AMPK signaling, and exercise physiology.
Preclinical work has explored MOTS-c in models of glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity, and age-related metabolic decline, and it is a frequent subject in the growing field of mitochondrial-derived peptides. Supplied lyophilized and independently verified.
