ABOUT THE MATERIAL

Product overview

Identity, scientific context and the details that distinguish this entry.

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide involved in metabolic-stress signaling and communication between mitochondria and the nucleus.[Sources]

Its sequence is encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. Published work links MOTS-c to the folate/purine pathway, AMPK-associated responses and stress-dependent nuclear translocation.

Research variables

Under metabolic stress, the cited cell experiments observed AMPK-dependent nuclear translocation and interaction with stress-responsive transcriptional programs, including NRF2-associated antioxidant-response elements.

Mechanisms & published research

Read each finding with its study model and material identity.

01

A mitochondrial peptide and metabolic signaling

The discovery report identified a 16-residue peptide encoded within mitochondrial 12S rRNA. Cell studies linked MOTS-c to folate and purine metabolism and AMPK activation, followed by mouse metabolic experiments. These findings position MOTS-c within mitochondrial signaling and cellular energy adaptation.

02

Stress-dependent movement into the nucleus

Under metabolic stress, MOTS-c translocated to the nucleus through an AMPK-dependent process. Nuclear experiments identified associations with stress-responsive transcription factors and antioxidant-response-element-regulated genes, including NRF2-related programs. Localization and transcriptional response were measured as complementary endpoints.

03

Exercise observations use different evidence designs

Mouse experiments assessed physical performance, skeletal-muscle metabolism and adaptation to metabolic stress. The human portion measured endogenous MOTS-c before and after exercise. The publication therefore contains distinct animal intervention and human biomarker study designs.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

Common questions

How does MOTS-c connect mitochondria and the nucleus?

Under metabolic stress, the cited cell experiments observed AMPK-dependent nuclear translocation and interaction with stress-responsive transcriptional programs, including NRF2-associated antioxidant-response elements.

How should storage and handling be confirmed?

Use the specification and available safety or stability information for the offered lot, form and packaging. Request written conditions before ordering; literature alone does not establish a universal temperature, shelf life or reconstitution procedure.

How are catalogue specifications checked against a batch?

The displayed value is a catalogue specification. Assess the offered lot against its matching COA and method. Chromatographic purity, component content and biological activity are different measurements; confirm which results are available.

What information helps with a quotation?

Include the exact SKU, quantity in boxes, destination, desired timing and document requirements. State any label or packaging needs. Pricing, availability, lead time and document scope are confirmed in the quotation.
