Description

MOTS-c (Met-Arg-Trp-Glu-Met-Ile-Gln-Lys-Val-Gly-Gln-Tyr-Gln-Leu-Glu-Gln) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome. Unlike nuclear-encoded peptides, MOTS-c directly influences cellular energy regulation and stress adaptation, playing a critical role in metabolic health and longevity research.

Mechanism of Action

  • Activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and PGC-1α pathways

  • Promotes fatty acid oxidation and improves glucose utilization

  • Enhances mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular energy efficiency

  • Supports resistance to metabolic and oxidative stress, making it valuable for longevity studies

Dosage Guidelines (Research Use)

  • General Dose: 5–10 mg per injection

  • Frequency: 2–3 times per week

  • Cycle Length: Commonly 4 weeks, followed by a break period

  • Important Note: Emerging data suggest MOTS-c may have limited stability (~10 minutes) post-reconstitution, warranting careful handling during experiments

Useful Information

  • Class: Mitochondrial-encoded regulatory peptide

  • Category: Metabolic Regulating Peptides

  • Primary Research Focus: Metabolic regulation, glucose homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and longevity
