MOTS -C (20mg)
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondria-derived peptide studied as a regulator of metabolic homeostasis through AMPK activation and nuclear translocation. This 20mg presentation is suited for moderate-duration research protocols requiring precise dosing and flexibility. Studies have highlighted its role as a potential exercise mimetic and insulin sensitizer.
Mechanism of Action
• Activates AMPK signaling, studied for increases in glucose uptake in skeletal muscle independent of insulin.
• Research indicates promotion of fatty acid oxidation and reduction of ectopic lipid accumulation.
• Investigated for nuclear translocation under metabolic stress, modulating gene expression in antioxidant and bioenergetics pathways.
• Studies show modulation of the folate-methionine cycle for optimization of one-carbon metabolism.
Research Areas
• Insulin resistance reversal and glucose metabolism research.
• Body composition studies in metabolic disease models.
• Physical endurance research as an exercise mimetic.
• Longevity biology through mitochondrial function studies.
Presentation and Storage
Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial containing 20mg of MOTS-c. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for laboratory use. Store at -20C.
