MOTS-C

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA type-C) is a short mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene. As a member of this emerging peptide class, it is described in the literature as a compact 16-residue sequence that has become a widely referenced tool for probing signaling between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Pet & Peps Research supplies MOTS-C as a lyophilized powder characterized at >=99% HPLC purity, a specification selected to support well-controlled, reproducible in-vitro and ex-vivo experimental design.

Within companion-animal research programs, MOTS-C is studied as an investigational tool in laboratory models relevant to canine and feline biology, where it is used to interrogate mitochondrial function, cellular energy handling, and pathways associated with metabolic regulation. It is frequently referenced in the study of nutrient-sensing and cellular stress-response networks, and is of research interest in models exploring the biology of cellular aging. Across these contexts the peptide functions strictly as a characterization reagent for observing molecular and cellular responses in defined systems.
