MOTS‑c is a naturally occurring 16‑amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene. It has been characterized in peer‑reviewed literature for its role in cellular metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial homeostasis. MOTS‑c is a member of a recently discovered family of mitochondrial signaling peptides (mitochondrial-derived peptides, MDPs). This 40mg format is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze‑dried) powder for reconstitution and use in biochemical and cellular research applications.
