MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA that has attracted growing scientific interest for its role in cellular metabolism and energy regulation. It is supplied here strictly for in vitro and laboratory research purposes.
Preclinical studies have investigated MOTS-C in the context of metabolic signalling, insulin sensitivity pathways, and cellular stress responses. This research is ongoing and findings have not been validated for therapeutic application in humans in Canada.
Storage: Store lyophilized peptide at 2–8°C in a sealed vial, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution, aliquot and freeze at -20°C.
