MOTS-c
A mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, supplied as a lyophilised reference material for laboratory research into AMPK signalling and cellular metabolic regulation.
Compound Overview
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the twelve S rRNA type-c) is a peptide of sixteen amino acids encoded within mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA. It belongs to a small class of molecules described in the literature as mitochondrial-derived peptides. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder.
Research Background
MOTS-c appears in laboratory literature concerned with mitochondrial-nuclear signalling and cellular energy regulation, including research into the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway in model systems. It is studied as an example of a peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome that participates in metabolic signalling.
