MOTS-c 5mg is a research vial of the 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide from Peptide Sciences, used in metabolic and ageing research.
MOTS-c Research Overview
MOTS-c is encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, an unusual origin for a signalling peptide. Studies in mice link it to AMPK activation, improved insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity and resistance to diet-induced obesity. It can move to the nucleus under stress, where it influences gene expression.

Research Considerations
Metabolic studies with MOTS-c frequently measure AMPK phosphorylation, glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and whole-body energy expenditure in diet-induced obesity models.
Quality Control, COA and Shipping
Consistency between lots is checked by HPLC and mass spectrometry, so researchers can compare results across experiments with confidence. Each order ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis and cold-chain packaging.
