Description
The Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide MOTS-c promotes metabolic homeostasis and longevity, improves exercise capacity, reduces obesity, insulin resistance and other disease processes such as osteoporosis.
Used in research of fat metabolism, muscle energy, ATP production, endogenous AICAR, energy utilization (AMPK), insulin resistance
- Reduces insulin resistance, decrease obesity, and promote homeostasis
- MDPs represent a novel mechanism of mitochondrial communication and regulation.
- MOTS-c is a recently identified MDP that regulates weight and metabolism.
- MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome
- MOTS-c targets muscle and regulates metabolism via the folate-purine-AMPK pathway
- MOTS-c mediates mitochondrial regulation of insulin and metabolic homeostasis
- MOTS-c protects against age- and diet-dependent insulin resistance and obesity
