MOTS-C Research Compound (MS)

"Premium grade MOTS-C validation."

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide with the sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR, encoded in a short open reading frame of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It is studied in metabolic and mitochondrial research for its reported activation of AMPK through inhibition of the folate cycle and de novo purine biosynthesis, with effects on insulin sensitivity and diet-induced metabolic dysfunction in mouse models (Lee et al., Cell Metab 2015, PMID 25738459). MOTS-c research peptide is supplied lyophilized at ≥99% purity verified by HPLC, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry and a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) included. Store lyophilized powder at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. For laboratory research use only — not for human or animal consumption.
