What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a "mitochondrial" peptide — meaning its sequence is encoded within the DNA of the mitochondria (the cell's energy centers), and not in the nucleus like most proteins. This is a relatively new group of molecules whose research is still developing.
What does the research examine?
Studies have examined MOTS-c in the context of metabolic regulation — insulin sensitivity, energy balance, and cellular pathways such as AMPK. Some refer to it as a research field of "mimicking physical activity" (exercise mimetic), but this is mainly early-stage research.
Why is it interesting?
The idea that mitochondria "broadcast" molecules that affect the entire body opened a new research direction in the field of metabolism and longevity. That said, most of the data are pre-clinical, and the compound is not approved for use in humans.
Frequently asked questions
Is MOTS-c a "regular" peptide?
It is a peptide, but unique in that it is encoded in the mitochondria — which classifies it as a mitochondrial peptide.
How is it reconstituted?
From powder, using bacteriostatic water andour dilution calculator.
