For research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
Mechanism of Action
A mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene that activates AMPK signaling to regulate metabolic homeostasis and cellular stress response.
How It Works
- 1
Activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), the master metabolic sensor
- 2
Enhances glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle
- 3
Regulates the folate-methionine cycle affecting cellular metabolism
- 4
Translocates to the nucleus during stress to regulate adaptive gene expression
Key Research Benefits
- AMPK pathway activation
- Metabolic homeostasis
- Exercise mimetic properties
- Aging and longevity research
MOTS-C is one of the first mitochondrial-derived peptides shown to regulate nuclear gene expression, representing a novel mitochondria-to-nucleus signaling pathway.
