Overview

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA region, providing researchers with a unique model for investigating mitochondrial biology, cellular communication and metabolic regulation.

Unlike most bioactive peptides encoded by the nuclear genome, MOTS-c originates directly from mitochondrial DNA, allowing researchers to explore how mitochondria function as signalling organelles as well as the cell’s primary source of energy.

AMINOSPX supplies MOTS-c exclusively for legitimate laboratory, analytical, scientific and in vitro, research purposes.

Not intended for human consumption or for medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, veterinary, cosmetic or food use.
