MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear genome, distinguishing it from most other research peptides. It is being investigated in preclinical research for its regulatory role in cellular metabolic homeostasis, including AMPK pathway activation, glucose utilization, and mitochondrial-nuclear communication under metabolic stress.

Each vial is lyophilized (freeze-dried) for stability and shipped with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis confirming purity via HPLC and mass spectrometry.

Storage: Store lyophilized peptide refrigerated (2–8°C) prior to reconstitution; use bacteriostatic water for reconstitution.
