4x MOTS-C / Bundle

Chemical & Structural Information

• Product type: Four-unit bundle of the same MOTS-c peptide
• CAS Number: 1627580-64-6

• Molecular Weight: approximately 2,174.6 g/mol
• Peptide Sequence: MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR

What It Is

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide made from genetic information found inside mitochondria. It is studied because it
may help cells communicate about energy use, metabolic stress and exercise-related changes. This bundle contains
the same molecule as standalone MOTS-c.

Research Focus

• AMPK - a major focus because AMPK acts like an energy sensor inside cells.
• Glucose metabolism - animal and laboratory studies examine how cells take up and use glucose.
• Exercise and stress - research looks at how MOTS-c changes during metabolic stress and physical activity.
• Aging biology - studies also explore links with physical capacity and metabolic resilience.

How It Is Studied

Under some laboratory conditions, MOTS-c can move into the cell nucleus and affect gene activity. Its link with
AMPK also makes it useful for studying how cells react when energy is low.

Glossary

• Mitochondria: Parts of cells that produce much of their energy.
• AMPK: An enzyme that senses whether a cell is low on energy.
• Nucleus: The part of a cell that holds most DNA.
• Gene activity: How strongly a cell uses certain genes.
