Description
Mots-C 10 MG
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the Twelve S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino acid mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial genome. Discovered in 2015, it is one of the first known mitochondrial-encoded signaling peptides and has emerged as a critical regulator of metabolic homeostasis.
