MOTS-C — 10mg
Product Overview
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within a short open reading frame of mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA. It is studied as part of the emerging field of communication between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes.
Research Background
Experimental work has examined MOTS-C in relation to AMP-activated protein kinase, folate and purine metabolism, cellular stress adaptation and mitonuclear signalling. Under metabolic stress, cell studies have reported movement of MOTS-C to the nucleus and changes in stress-responsive gene expression.
Current Areas of Investigation
Research includes metabolic-stress models, mitochondrial bioenergetics, skeletal-muscle signalling, cellular redox responses and age-related changes in mitochondrial communication.
In Plain Language
Researchers are exploring how MOTS-C may help cells recognize and respond to metabolic stress, adjust energy use and coordinate signals between mitochondria and the cell nucleus. Experimental studies connect MOTS-C with AMPK, a major cellular energy sensor, and with changes in genes involved in antioxidant and stress responses.
In plain terms, MOTS-C is being studied as a possible messenger that tells a cell when its energy systems are under pressure. Researchers are interested in whether that message can influence glucose handling, mitochondrial efficiency, muscle metabolism and cellular resilience during metabolic or age-related stress.
