MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the Twelve S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, studied in laboratory research on metabolic regulation and cellular stress signaling. It is used in structured in vitro and model-based studies designed to yield reproducible observations under standardized conditions.
- Synthetic mitochondrial-derived peptide supplied for laboratory research use only.
- Referenced in published research examining AMPK pathway activation and folate–methionine cycle interactions in experimental models.
- Studied in research on mitochondrial-nuclear signaling, a comparatively recent area of investigation since the peptide’s characterization in 2015.
- Suitable for controlled, repeatable studies investigating metabolic and mitochondrial pathway mechanisms.
