Research usage
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide of 16 amino acids encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. In preclinical research models it is studied as a regulator of cellular energy metabolism and is reported to translocate to the nucleus under metabolic stress to influence gene expression. Research indicates that MOTS-c is associated with activation of the AMPK pathway, a central sensor of cellular energy balance. It is investigated as a potential modulator of metabolic homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in laboratory settings.
Research reports that MOTS-c activates the AMPK signaling pathway and modulates metabolic flux in animal and cellular research models. Preclinical studies have investigated its association with glucose regulation, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and resistance to diet-induced metabolic changes in rodent models. It has also been studied for its reported influence on exercise capacity and cellular stress responses. These properties have positioned MOTS-c as a subject of interest in metabolic and cellular-energy research models.
The safety profile of MOTS-c has not been fully characterized in research models, and its long-term effects remain under investigation. It is intended strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research and should be handled only by qualified personnel using appropriate protective equipment. As with all research peptides, it must be kept away from any human or veterinary exposure. No safety conclusions for non-research applications should be drawn from the available data.
Reconstitute the 20 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to yield a concentration of 10 mg/mL.
Store refrigerated at 2-8C, protected from light. The lyophilized powder is stable for approximately 24 months. For long-term storage, keep at -20C.
Store refrigerated at 2-8C and use within several weeks. Protect from light and heat, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
