MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-encoded peptide discovered in 2015, encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mtDNA. Under metabolic stress conditions, it translocates to the nucleus to regulate genes involved in energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism. This research-grade lyophilized peptide is synthesized under strict quality controls and provided with full analytical documentation, making it suitable for mitochondrial signaling and metabolic research applications. For Research Use Only. Not for human use.
