Description
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a synthetic 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) with the sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR, molecular formula C₁₀₁H₁₅₂N₂₈O₂₂S₂, a molecular weight of approximately 2,174.55 Da, and CAS number 1627580-64-6. MOTS-c is one of the few known peptides encoded by the mitochondrial genome (within the 12S rRNA gene, MT-RNR1), making it a key research tool for studying mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde signaling.
In laboratory research, MOTS-c is utilized in AMPK activation studies (via ATIC inhibition and AICAR accumulation in the folate-methionine cycle), GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake assays, skeletal muscle cell metabolism experiments, exercise-responsive metabolic change investigations, and mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathway research.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder with ≥99% purity verified by HPLC. For storage and handling conditions, refer to the Certificate of Analysis provided with each lot. This product is intended strictly for laboratory research use only (RUO) and is not for human consumption, therapeutic use, or any diagnostic purposes.
