The NAD+ / MOTS-c Research Bundle combines NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) with MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c), two distinct biological compounds investigated in cellular, mitochondrial, and metabolic research.
NAD⁺ is a naturally occurring cellular coenzyme involved in energy metabolism and oxidation-reduction reactions. It plays an important role in cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, redox balance, metabolic signaling, and other fundamental cellular processes.
MOTS-c is a naturally occurring 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. Research has investigated MOTS-c in relation to AMPK signaling, glucose metabolism, insulin-related pathways, energy homeostasis, cellular NAD+ / MOTS-c Research Bundle stress responses, and mitochondrial signaling.
Together, these compounds provide researchers with complementary tools for investigating cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, metabolic signaling, redox biology, AMPK pathways, and mitochondrial-derived peptide mechanisms.
