MOTS-c
A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in metabolic and aging research.
Overview
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. In research literature it is studied for its interactions with cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial signaling pathways. It is a commonly referenced compound in the longevity and metabolic-signaling research categories.
Referenced research ranges
5–10 mg, 1-3x/week — research protocols reference cyclical administration patterns
Reconstitution default
10 mg in 2 mL yields 5 mg/mL; a 5 mg reference dose is 1 mL (100 units on a U-100 syringe).
Storage
Store lyophilized vials refrigerated; refrigerate after reconstitution and protect from light.
Considerations
- A mitochondrial-derived peptide, distinguishing it from nuclear-encoded compounds.
- Research protocols commonly reference intermittent rather than daily administration.
- Reconstituted peptide is temperature-sensitive and light-sensitive.
