Question 1

Why is MOTS-c called an 'Exercise Mimetic'?

Accepted Answer

Because it activates AMPK and increases glucose uptake in muscles, it produces many of the same metabolic changes seen during physical exercise, even without exertion in the subject.

Question 2

Where is MOTS-c produced?

Accepted Answer

It is encoded by the mitochondria themselves, rather than the cell nucleus, which is rare and makes it a key signaling molecule for mitochondrial health.

Is MOTS-c for human use?

Accepted Answer

No. Melbourne Peptides supplies MOTS-c strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and analytical modeling.
