What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial genome’s 12S rRNA gene. Discovered in 2015, it represents a revolutionary link between mitochondrial and nuclear communication, functioning as a retrograde signal that regulates metabolic homeostasis. For published research, see PubMed studies on MOTS-c{:target=“_blank” rel=“noopener”}.
MOTS-c has been called an “exercise mimetic” for its ability to activate AMPK and promote metabolic benefits similar to physical exercise, making it one of the most exciting peptides in ageing and metabolic research.
Best-Peptides supplies research-grade MOTS-c with guaranteed ≥99% purity.

FAQ
MOTS-c is studied for mitochondrial signalling, metabolic regulation, exercise mimicry, insulin sensitivity, and ageing research. It's part of the mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) family.
MOTS-c activates AMPK, regulates folate-methionine metabolism, promotes metabolic homeostasis, and translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress to regulate gene expression.
MOTS-c is one of the first identified mitochondrial-derived peptides encoded within the mitochondrial genome (12S rRNA gene), representing a novel form of mitochondrial-nuclear communication.
Store lyophilised MOTS-c at -20°C. Once reconstituted, keep at 2-8°C and use within 4 weeks.
Our MOTS-c is ≥99% pure as verified by HPLC. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis.
AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is a master metabolic sensor. MOTS-c activates AMPK, promoting glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis.
Reconstitute in sterile water or PBS. Add solvent slowly and gently swirl to dissolve.
MOTS-c is available in 5mg and 10mg vials.
