Overview

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial ORF of 12S rRNA Type C) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Discovered in 2015 by Dr. Changhan Lee at USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology.

Published Research

Published literature has examined MOTS-C across multiple research contexts:

  • AMPK pathway activation and metabolic sensor modulation
  • Glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity research in preclinical models
  • Exercise physiology - circulating MOTS-C levels increase with physical activity
  • Mitochondrial-nuclear communication (retrograde signaling) research

Analytical data. Specifications reflect typical lot characteristics. Lot-specific values appear on the Certificate of Analysis shipped with each order. View representative COA →

• Metabolic biology: MOTS-c has been studied for its effects on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in murine models of diet-induced obesity (Lee et al., 2015).
• AMPK pathway: Research has examined MOTS-c's interaction with AMP-activated protein kinase signaling in metabolic regulation.
• Exercise biology: Studies have investigated MOTS-c as an exercise-mimetic peptide, examining skeletal muscle metabolism effects.
• Aging research: Investigations into MOTS-c levels across age groups and its potential role in age-related metabolic changes.

Standard reconstitution: 1 mL bacteriostatic water per vial unless otherwise specified on the Certificate of Analysis. Store reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Lyophilized powder stable at -20°C for 24 months when sealed under inert atmosphere.
