MOTS-c 10mg – 3ml Vial
Product Overview
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. It is classified as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) and is studied in experimental models for its role in metabolic regulation and cellular stress response signalling.
In controlled in-vitro and pre-clinical research systems, MOTS-c is commonly utilised to investigate:
- AMPK-associated metabolic pathway modulation
- Cellular energy homeostasis signalling
- Glucose uptake pathway research
- Mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication mechanisms
- Metabolic stress adaptation models
Due to its mitochondrial origin, MOTS-c is frequently selected for laboratory research involving bioenergetics and intracellular signalling regulation.
Supplied in lyophilised form to preserve peptide stability and analytical integrity prior to reconstitution.

Handling & Storage Guidelines
Unreconstituted (Lyophilised) Storage:
Store at −20°C for long-term preservation. Short-term storage at 2–8°C is acceptable if intended for use within 1–3 months.
Reconstituted Storage:
After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C and use within 3–6 weeks. Stability may vary depending on solvent selection and handling conditions.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Protect from excessive agitation, heat, and direct light exposure.
