MOTS-C (40mg)
MOTS-c peptide is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the 12S rRNA gene of the mitochondrial genome. Naolux Labs supplies MOTS-c (40mg) as a research-grade lyophilized peptide compound, offering a higher-quantity option for extended laboratory and scientific research applications.
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide that acts as a mitochondrial signaling molecule, communicating between mitochondria and the cell nucleus to regulate metabolic homeostasis. As a result, it has emerged as one of the most studied mitochondria-derived peptides in metabolic and aging research. Furthermore, preclinical studies have examined MOTS-c’s role in activating AMPK pathways — a master regulator of cellular energy balance — and its downstream effects on glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation. Consequently, MOTS-c has attracted significant interest in laboratory models studying insulin sensitivity, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction.
Research has also explored MOTS-c in the context of exercise physiology and aging, with studies suggesting it may mimic some of the metabolic adaptations associated with physical activity at the cellular level. Additionally, MOTS-c has been investigated for its potential role in longevity research, given its origin within the mitochondrial genome and its interaction with nuclear gene expression. Therefore, MOTS-c represents a uniquely positioned compound for researchers studying mitochondrial biology, metabolic signaling, and cellular aging.
