MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids. Unlike many peptides encoded by nuclear DNA, MOTS-C originates from a short open reading frame located within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region.
MOTS-C is studied in laboratory and preclinical research involving mitochondrial signaling, cellular energy regulation, metabolic pathways, and communication between mitochondria and the nucleus. Its unique mitochondrial origin makes it a compound of interest in the expanding field of mitochondrial-derived peptide research.
This MOTS-C product is supplied as a research material for controlled laboratory, biochemical, and analytical applications.
