MOTS-c is a synthetic mitochondrial-derived peptide commonly used in laboratory environments to study cellular energy regulation, metabolic signaling pathways, and stress-response mechanisms. It is modeled after a naturally occurring peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, making it useful for research focused on AMPK activation, metabolic modulation, and intracellular communication.

In scientific settings, MOTS-c is typically examined in in vitro assays, cell culture studies, and biochemical pathway experiments to observe how mitochondria-associated peptides influence cellular homeostasis, gene expression patterns, and metabolic signaling under controlled conditions.

MOTS-c is not intended for human or veterinary use. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research, analytical testing, and educational investigation, with no claims regarding biological effects or suitability for consumption.
