Research background

About MOTS-c (Human)

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide: its 16 amino acids are encoded by a short open reading frame inside the 12S ribosomal RNA gene of mitochondrial DNA, not by the nuclear genome. Lee and colleagues described it in 2015 in Cell Metabolism and placed its action on metabolic regulation in mice in the AMPK pathway.

Later work linked MOTS-c to exercise and to physical capacity with age (Reynolds et al., 2021) and to plasma metabolites (Kim et al., 2019); the evidence comes mainly from cells and animals. MOTS-c appears in two of our groups: Longevity & mitochondria, beside SS-31 and Humanin, and Metabolic research.

MOTS-c (Human) FAQ

Why is it called MOTS-c (Human)?

The name gives the species of the sequence: MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR, the human MOTS-c shown in the table above. If your model needs another species' sequence, ask before ordering.

How is MOTS-c different from SS-31?

MOTS-c is a natural peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA; SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide built to bind cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. They answer different questions and are separate products.

How to order
