MOTS-C

Lyophilized MOTS-C peptide, supplied in 10mg and 40mg vial sizes, HPLC-verified to greater than 99% purity. MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial genome, distinguishing it from most peptides studied in laboratory settings, which are typically encoded by nuclear DNA.

In research studies, MOTS-C is commonly investigated for its role in cellular energy metabolism, including its effects on glucose uptake and metabolic regulation in skeletal muscle models. Researchers studying mitochondrial biology and metabolic homeostasis examine its involvement in AMPK signaling pathways, a key regulator of cellular energy balance. MOTS-C has also drawn research interest in the context of exercise physiology and insulin sensitivity models, given its proposed role as a communication signal between mitochondria and the nucleus under metabolic stress.

Each vial is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form to maintain peptide stability during shipping and storage. Once reconstituted with an appropriate diluent, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within the timeframe recommended by your laboratory’s standard protocols. See our Reconstitution Guide for detailed handling instructions.
