Quick Summary
Mitochondrial peptide — metabolic regulation and longevity
Also called: Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome (12S rRNA region). It is one of a new class of 'mitokines' — signaling molecules produced by mitochondria that regulate systemic metabolism. Research has demonstrated its role in insulin sensitivity, exercise performance, metabolic homeostasis, and aging.
How It's Made
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome. For research and supplementation purposes, it is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis. It is available as a lyophilized powder for injection.
