MOTS-C
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. It is studied in exercise-physiology and metabolic research as a mitochondrial signal that regulates insulin sensitivity and cellular energy homeostasis.

Research summaries
For educational purposes only.
MOTS-c as an exercise mimetic signal
Rodent studies report that MOTS-c administration improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, prevented diet-induced obesity, and enhanced physical performance in aged mice, with mechanisms tied to AMPK activation and folate-cycle modulation.
In plain English
MOTS-c is studied as a mitochondrial signal during metabolic stress. Studies in aged mice reported enhanced physical performance after MOTS-c administration.
Exercise-responsive circulating MOTS-c in humans
Human studies report that circulating MOTS-c rises acutely with exercise and that the peptide can translocate to the nucleus under metabolic stress to regulate nuclear gene expression — a rare demonstrated mitochondria-to-nucleus signalling loop.
In plain English
Human data show the peptide responds to exercise; whether supplementing it reproduces exercise benefits remains an open research question.
MOTS-c — Frequently asked questions
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. It is sold strictly for laboratory research use — not for human or veterinary use.
What purity is this MOTS-c?
The catalog specification lists 99.44% HPLC purity. Our testing policy also requires independent endotoxin, heavy-metals and sterility screening. The current certificate table and linked PDF are samples; a production certificate must match the batch ID printed on the vial.
What sizes does MOTS-c come in?
MOTS-c (10mg vials) is offered in 20mg, 50mg, 100mg boxes (2 × 10mg vials, 5 × 10mg vials, 10 × 10mg vials), priced $79.00 to $338.00 — the per-mg cost falls as box size increases.
How should MOTS-c be stored?
Keep sealed lyophilized vials refrigerated at 2–8°C away from light (stable 24+ months). After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate and use within the study-validated window, typically 30 days; never freeze reconstituted solution.
Storage details
Lyophilized (as shipped): store refrigerated at 2–8°C away from light. Sealed vials remain stable for 24+ months; short excursions at room temperature during transit do not affect stability.
After reconstitution: store at 2–8°C and use within the study-validated window (typically 30 days with bacteriostatic water). Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
Handling: direct diluent down the vial wall and swirl gently — never shake. Peptide bonds are mechanically fragile in solution.
Light: keep vials in the box or amber sleeve; repeated light exposure accelerates degradation of MOTS-c.
