About MOTS-C 20mg
MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide supplied as a 20mg lyophilized vial at greater than 98% purity with a certificate of analysis and manufactured in the USA. It is sold strictly as a research chemical for in-vitro and laboratory use by qualified professionals.
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-C is encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region and acts as a signalling peptide linking mitochondrial function to whole-cell metabolism. In research models it has been reported to activate the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.
Preclinical Research
Foundational work published in Cell Metabolism (2015) characterized MOTS-C as a regulator of insulin sensitivity and metabolic homeostasis in rodent models. These findings come from cell-culture and animal models and do not establish outcomes in humans.
Research Applications
MOTS-C is used as an investigational tool in metabolic research, often alongside 5-Amino-1MQ and NAD+.
Available Sizes
Peptides Source supplies MOTS-C in multiple sizes so laboratories can match material to protocol scale: 10mg, 20mg (this page), 30mg, 40mg.
Protocol & Handling
Reconstitute the lyophilized powder with bacteriostatic water to the concentration required by the study protocol. Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C; once reconstituted, keep it refrigerated at 2 to 8°C and protect it from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. These parameters describe in-vitro handling only.
