What is MOTS-c?<\/h2>\n

MOTS-c is a \"mitochondrial\" peptide \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

What does the research examine?<\/h2>\n

Studies have examined MOTS-c in the context of metabolic regulation \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

Why is it interesting?<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

Is MOTS-c a \"regular\" peptide?<\/strong>
It is a peptide, but unique in that it is encoded in the mitochondria \u2014 which classifies it as a mitochondrial peptide.<\/p>\n

How is it reconstituted?<\/strong>
From powder, using bacteriostatic water<\/a> andour dilution calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n
