MOTS-c

Product details

MOTS-C from Prime Peptide is a research-grade mitochondrial-derived peptide tested at ≥99% HPLC purity. A third-party Certificate of Analysis is included on every lot. Below you will find specifications, research applications, and the standards every shipment meets.

Product Overview

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. First identified by researchers at the University of Southern California in 2015, MOTS-C has been studied extensively in preclinical research models for its role in mitochondrial function, glucose metabolism, and cellular energy homeostasis.

This research compound is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form for reconstitution with bacteriostatic water prior to use in laboratory settings. Prime Peptide provides MOTS-C at research-grade purity, verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.

Research Applications

MOTS-C has been investigated in preclinical research models for:

• AMPK pathway activation and metabolic regulation
• Insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis studies
• Mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular energy modulation
• Age-related metabolic decline research
• Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle metabolism
