Overview
MOTS-c is a peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear genome, distinguishing it from most peptides studied in metabolic research. It is classified as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) and has drawn research interest as a potential signaling link between mitochondrial function and broader cellular metabolic regulation, including research into exercise-related metabolic adaptation.
Genesis Genetics supplies MOTS-c exclusively for laboratory and research applications. It is not sold, marketed, or intended for human or veterinary use.
Research Context
MOTS-c research spans mitochondrial-nuclear communication, AMPK pathway signaling, and metabolic-adaptation models, often discussed alongside other mitochondrial- and longevity-research compounds such as SS-31 and NAD+. Its mitochondrial origin makes it a frequent reference point in literature examining how mitochondria influence whole-cell metabolic signaling.
Purity & Analytical Testing
Every MOTS-c lot is verified by HPLC for identity and purity before release, documented on the included lot-specific Certificate of Analysis.
For more on how this testing fits into our broader release process, see Quality Control. For what the Certificate of Analysis itself contains, see Certificate of Analysis.
Storage & Handling
Lyophilized MOTS-c should be stored refrigerated or frozen and protected from light prior to reconstitution; once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within a limited stability window.
For a full walkthrough of reconstitution technique and stability windows, see our research article on Peptide Storage 101. Bacteriostatic water for reconstitution is available on our Bac Water product page, and shipping/cold-chain handling for temperature sensitive orders is covered on our Shipping & Cold Chain page.
Related Compounds
MOTS-c is frequently researched alongside compounds studied for adjacent or complementary research contexts, including 5-Amino-1MQ, BPC-157, Bac Water, NAD+, SS-31, and TB-500. See the curated "Recommended With" section above for the full set.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOTS-c?+
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, encoded in mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA, studied for its proposed role in metabolic signaling and exercise-related adaptation research.
How is MOTS-c different from other metabolic peptides?+
Its mitochondrial genetic origin sets it apart from nuclear-encoded peptides, and research on it often focuses specifically on mitochondrial-nuclear signaling rather than receptor-based metabolic pathways.
What purity standard does this MOTS-c meet?+
Each lot is independently tested via HPLC and released only above a 99% purity threshold, documented on the included Certificate of Analysis.
Is MOTS-c approved for human or veterinary use?+
No. MOTS-c is sold strictly for laboratory and research use and is not approved or intended for human or veterinary administration.
