MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome, a distinction that earned it recognition as the first mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) with documented systemic metabolic signaling activity. In skeletal muscle and adipocyte cultures it activates AMPK, upregulates FGF21 expression, and enhances glucose uptake through insulin-independent pathways. Its mitochondrial genome origin provides a singular vantage point for studying retrograde mito-nuclear communication and metabolic homeostasis at the intercellular signaling level. Supplied lyophilized for in vitro research use only.
