MOTS-C — 40 mg

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide | Metabolic & Cellular Energy Research

MOTS-C is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA and studied for its role in cellular communication, energy metabolism, and metabolic homeostasis. Unlike many peptides that originate from nuclear DNA, MOTS-C is particularly notable because of its mitochondrial origin and its relationship to the cellular systems responsible for producing and managing energy.

Research into MOTS-C has focused on its potential influence on glucose utilization, metabolic signaling, insulin sensitivity, cellular stress responses, and energy regulation. It has also been investigated for its relationship with skeletal muscle metabolism and the body’s physiological response to exercise.

MOTS-C is sometimes described in scientific literature as an “exercise mimetic” because research suggests that some of the molecular and metabolic pathways influenced by MOTS-C overlap with pathways activated during physical exercise. This has made it an important research target in the study of metabolic health, mitochondrial function, exercise physiology, aging, and cellular adaptation.
