A mitochondrial-derived peptide at the center of modern metabolism and exercise research.
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA — one of very few peptides made by the mitochondria themselves. It has become a major focus of research into cellular energy, metabolism and exercise physiology.
What MOTS-C is
- A mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) — encoded in the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA
- Discovered in 2015, making it one of the newer peptides in metabolic research
- Sometimes called an "exercise-mimetic" in the literature because of how it is studied
Research suggests MOTS-C may help with
- Metabolic regulation — glucose uptake and insulin-sensitivity models
- Cellular energy — AMPK pathway activation studies
- Exercise capacity — endurance and performance in animal models
- Fat metabolism — fatty-acid oxidation research
- Healthy aging — mitochondrial function across lifespan studies
Research areas at a glance
| Research area | What studies explore |
|---|---|
| Metabolism | Glucose handling and insulin signaling in preclinical models |
| AMPK pathway | Activation of the cell's master energy sensor |
| Exercise physiology | Endurance and muscle energetics in rodent studies |
| Aging biology | Mitochondrial communication with the nucleus over time |
How MOTS-C is studied to work
1. AMPK activation
- Studied for switching on AMPK, the cell's energy-status sensor
- AMPK activation is associated in research with increased glucose uptake and fat oxidation
2. Mitochondria-to-nucleus signaling
- Researched as a retrograde signal — mitochondria telling the nucleus what genes to express
- Studied for translocating to the nucleus under metabolic stress
3. Muscle energetics
- Explored in exercise models for endurance-related outcomes
- Studied for skeletal-muscle glucose utilisation
👉 Think: a metabolic messenger, not a stimulant
Product specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Vial size | 10mg MOTS-C |
| Form | Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder |
| Storage | Cool, dry place away from light; refrigerate after reconstitution |
| Intended use | Laboratory research only — not for human consumption |
Summary
In research settings, MOTS-C is studied for:
- Mitochondrial-derived signaling peptide
- AMPK and glucose-metabolism research
- Exercise-physiology and aging studies
MOTS-C is NOT a fat-loss drug — it is studied as a cellular-energy optimizer.
Metabolism research moves fast — MOTS-C is one of the few tools that lets you probe the mitochondrial side of the equation directly.

Reconstitution / BAC Water
Reconstitution / BAC Water
All vial peptides are supplied in lyophilized powder form for research purposes. Reconstitution / BAC Water requires bacteriostatic (BAC) water, and the amount used depends on the concentration required for your research protocol.
Storage & Handling
Storage & Handling
Before reconstitution, keep sealed vials cool, dry, and away from direct light. For longer-term storage, freezing is recommended to preserve stability.
After reconstitution, store refrigerated and use within 30 days for best stability.
