MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, discovered by Dr. Changhan David Lee's laboratory at USC in 2015.
Published research has examined MOTS-C's role in AMPK pathway activation, folate-methionine cycle regulation, and cellular metabolic homeostasis in preclinical models. It represents a novel class of mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs).
Manufactured under cGMP-equivalent protocols and verified to ≥99% purity via HPLC. Full COA included with every order.
Supplied as a lyophilized white powder. Soluble in sterile water. For research and laboratory use only.
