MOTS-C 40mg
A$160.00
MOTS-c, an acronym for Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c, represents a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA, differentiating it from those encoded in nuclear DNA. This characteristic classifies it as a distinctive group of peptides known as mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) — small proteins that serve as signaling molecules to regulate metabolism and cellular stress responses.
Initially identified in 2015, MOTS-c has been observed to circulate within the bloodstream, influencing critical metabolic pathways, particularly those associated with energy balance and glucose regulation. In contrast to most hormones and peptides synthesized in the nucleus, MOTS-c is produced directly within the mitochondria, underscoring its function as a metabolic regulator.
Furthermore, MOTS-c is primarily generated in skeletal muscle and various other tissues, where it functions both locally and systemically to aid in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Consequently, researchers regard it as a promising therapeutic target for conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and age-related metabolic decline.
For further context, MOTS-c is related to the same family of mitochondrial peptides as Humanin, an additional MDP currently being studied for its protective effects in aging and in response to cellular stress.
