MS40 — MOTS-C
Mitochondria-derived peptide for advanced metabolic and cellular energy research.
What is MS40?
MS40 is a research-grade preparation of MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c), a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. MOTS-C has attracted significant interest in metabolic research for its role in regulating cellular energy homeostasis and its potential involvement in age-related metabolic changes.
Key Features
- Dual-mechanism metabolic research tool
- Mitochondria-derived peptide component
- Non-growth-promoting hGH fragment included
- High purity ≥98% verified by mass spectrometry
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-C is believed to regulate metabolic homeostasis by translocating to the nucleus under metabolic stress and acting on AMPK pathways, influencing glucose and lipid metabolism at the cellular level. Research suggests it may improve insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function, making it a valuable tool for studying cellular energy regulation and metabolic disease pathways.
Research Applications
- Mitochondrial function and biogenesis studies
- AMPK pathway activation research
- Lipolysis and fat metabolism investigation
- Insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation studies
- Cellular energy homeostasis research
