MOTS-C
$80.00
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, capable of translocation to the nucleus under metabolic stress to influence gene expression.
- Sequence: 16 amino acids from mtDNA 12S rRNA
- Localization: Mitochondrial origin with nuclear translocation potential
- Research Focus Areas: AMPK pathway activation, insulin sensitivity, exercise mimetics
- Common Models: Muscle cell metabolism, aging/diet-induced models
- Mechanistic Interests: Folate-purine-AMPK axis, nuclear gene regulation
It is used in research to investigate mitochondrial bioenergetics, metabolic homeostasis regulation, energy-sensing pathways, and age-related physiological adaptations in cellular and whole-organism models.
