Water/Buffer
Reconstitute to desired working concentration.
4°C for up to 1-2 weeks.
Aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
C. Handling Precautions
- Use standard laboratory personal protective equipment (PPE), including lab coats, gloves, and eye protection.
- Work in a well-ventilated area or under a chemical fume hood when handling the powder or concentrated solutions.
IV. Research Applications and Mechanism of Action
A. Primary Research Focus
MOTS-c is a critical subject in research due to its involvement in key metabolic and cellular processes:
- Metabolic Homeostasis: Regulation of whole-body energy balance.
- Obesity and Insulin Sensitivity: Improvement of glucose metabolism and reduction of insulin resistance.
- Aging: Potential role as a longevity factor by promoting mitochondrial health.
- Muscle Metabolism: Influence on muscle function and preservation.
B. Mechanism of Action Summary
MOTS-c primarily exerts its effects by acting as a potent activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This activation leads to a cascade of metabolic effects:
- Enhanced Glucose Uptake: Stimulates the translocation of glucose transporters to the cell membrane.
- Increased Fatty Acid Oxidation: Promotes the breakdown of fats for energy, potentially reducing ectopic lipid accumulation.
