Research Information
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, studied for its role in metabolic and mitochondrial research. Researchers are interested in how mitochondrial-derived peptides communicate with the nucleus and regulate metabolic pathways — particularly insulin sensitivity and glucose handling — in cell-culture studies. Most published work has used myocyte and adipocyte cell lines to examine AMPK pathway activation and exercise-related metabolic adaptation models.
Research areas
- AMPK signalling pathway studies
- Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) research
- Insulin sensitivity cell models
- Myocyte and adipocyte metabolic research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
