Longevity · 10mg, 40mg · 3mL

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA and recognized for its role in cellular energy regulation and metabolic stress signaling. It has been studied extensively in longevity and metabolic research for its relationship to mitochondrial homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, exercise-associated signaling, and adaptive cellular stress responses across preclinical models. Unlike most signaling peptides encoded within nuclear DNA, MOTS-c originates directly from the mitochondrial genome and functions as a mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication peptide. Lyophilized powder, 3mL vial. Sold at 10mg and 40mg per vial. For research use only.

Sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR. 16-aa mitochondrial-derived peptide.
