Research interest

Why researchers are interested

Brief notes on why MOTS-c appears in laboratory study designs. Research use only — not for human or veterinary use.

  • Researchers are studying MOTS-c for mitochondrial signaling and metabolic stress pathways.
  • Common research areas include cellular energy markers and stress-response assays.
  • Of interest in studies involving mitochondrial-derived peptide identity and handling.

What is MOTS-c in research?

MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome (sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRK). It is studied as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that can enter nuclear and cytoplasmic pathways involved in metabolic stress responses in cellular laboratory models.

Reference records include PubChem CID 146675088 and the molecular formula C101H152N28O22S2. Elevate Precision Health supplies MOTS-c strictly for research use. Link each aliquot to its lot so oxidation or purity shifts can be traced later.

Typical laboratory applications

Bench protocols often examine AMPK-related pathway markers, mitochondrial respiration or glycolytic flux readouts, and cellular stress assays after controlled peptide exposure. MOTS-c is also used in peptide identity and purity method development (HPLC/LC-MS) because mitochondrial peptides can present distinct solubility and oxidation behaviors versus many nuclear-encoded sequences.

Protect aliquots from repeated freeze–thaw cycles; methionine- and aromatic-rich mitochondrial peptides can oxidize under careless bench handling.
