Mots-C

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open reading frame of the Twelve S rRNA type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome. First described in the scientific literature around 2015, it is a short 16-residue peptide (sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR) that has drawn attention in metabolic-signaling research. This listing supplies MOTS-c as a synthetic research peptide (CAS 1627580-64-6, molecular formula C101H152N28O22S2, approximately 2174 Da) intended strictly for in-vitro and preclinical laboratory investigation. It is not a drug, supplement, or article for human or veterinary use.
