Description
MOTS-c – Mitochondrial Metabolic & Longevity Research Peptide
MOTS-c 10 mg is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) within the 12S rRNA gene. It functions as a mitochondrial-derived signaling molecule that regulates metabolic balance, insulin sensitivity, and cellular stress adaptation. By activating AMPK and modulating metabolic gene expression, MOTS-c supports studies on aging, metabolic health, endurance, and mitochondrial performance.
This peptide has gained significant interest in longevity research for its ability to mimic exercise-like metabolic effects, improve glucose homeostasis, and enhance cellular resilience under stress.
