MOTS-c – Mitochondrial Research Peptide
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a
mitochondrially encoded research peptide known for its role in
cellular energy metabolism and metabolic regulation.
In laboratory research, MOTS-c is used to study the interaction between
mitochondrial activity, insulin signaling, and fatty acid metabolism
in in-vitro models.
MOTS-c is produced according to the highest laboratory standards and verified using
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure a purity of
≥ 99%.
Each batch is suitable for controlled research environments and
biochemical applications requiring high reproducibility.
