🧪 MOTS-c 10mg – Advanced Peptide for Metabolic and Mitochondrial Function Research
MOTS-c 10mg is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) widely studied for its role in metabolic regulation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular stress response. Composed of 16 amino acids and encoded by mitochondrial DNA, MOTS-c provides researchers with a unique tool for investigating energy homeostasis, adaptive metabolism, and oxidative stress signaling in controlled laboratory environments.
🔬 What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a synthetic analog of a naturally occurring peptide encoded by the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. In preclinical studies, it has been shown to influence AMPK signaling, support metabolic adaptation, and participate in mitochondrial-nuclear communication. Its potential to modulate metabolic and oxidative processes makes it an important compound in experimental research on energy balance, aging models, and mitochondrial function.
📚 Key Research Applications
1. Metabolic Regulation Studies
MOTS-c has been studied for its potential to modulate insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. It is often included in research models related to metabolic flexibility, AMPK activation, and nutrient-sensing pathways.
2. Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Function
Researchers have investigated MOTS-c’s role in mitochondrial gene expression, energy production efficiency, and biogenesis. It serves as a valuable subject in studies involving mitochondrial dysfunction and aging-related decline.
3. Oxidative Stress and Cellular Adaptation
MOTS-c is frequently used in laboratory studies evaluating cellular resilience to oxidative stress, stress-response gene activation, and redox balance under metabolic strain or environmental stressors.
⚙️ Mechanism of Action
MOTS-c interacts with both nuclear and mitochondrial regulatory pathways, particularly by:
-
Activating AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key energy-sensing enzyme
-
Supporting mitochondrial biogenesis and gene expression
-
Enhancing cellular adaptation to metabolic and environmental stress
These mechanisms are being evaluated for their relevance in experimental models of energy metabolism, longevity, and mitochondrial health.
