// 01About the compound
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid research peptide encoded directly in mitochondrial DNA — one of a small group of endogenously expressed peptides studied in mitochondrial biology research.
Published literature examines AMPK-pathway activation and downstream effects on cellular glucose handling, fatty-acid oxidation, and insulin-pathway sensitivity.
It is included in the Max Nutrition USA catalog as a current focus of mitochondrial and longevity research literature.
