Product Overview

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within mitochondrial DNA. A novel exercise-mimetic that activates AMPK signaling and translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress for adaptive gene regulation.

Research Applications

  • First mitochondrial-derived peptide with metabolic activity
  • Exercise-mimetic: activates AMPK via AICAR accumulation
  • Nuclear translocation under metabolic stress (retrograde signaling)
  • Endogenous circulating peptide — levels decline with age
  • Published in Cell Metabolism (Lee et al., 2015)

Key Features

  • Modulates folate cycle, glucose uptake, and fatty acid oxidation
  • ≥99% purity confirmed by RP-HPLC and ESI-MS
  • For laboratory research use only
