Description
MOTS-c 10mg – Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide Research Compound
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open reading frame of the Twelve S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide, encoded not in the nuclear genome but within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. That unusual origin made it a landmark discovery in metabolic research: a signaling peptide produced by the mitochondria themselves. Supplied as 10mg of lyophilized peptide in a sterile sealed vial, analytically verified for purity.
