The product
What is in this vial?
Mitochondria are the parts of your cells that make energy. They carry their own small loop of DNA, separate from the DNA in the cell's nucleus. MOTS-C is a peptide coded in that loop. Its discovery in 2015 opened a new field of research. We supply it freeze-dried (as a dry powder), for lab research only.

MOTS-C is sold as lab research material only. You must be 21 or over to buy it. It is not for people to take and not for use on animals.
This page shows the lot number, appearance and storage for MOTS-C. Match the lot number on your vial to the lab reports in our certificate library. Each report is labelled with the sample it tested. A heavy-metals test (a check for toxic metals) does not measure purity or prove what the powder is.
Follow the vial label and your lab's own written rules. Store it at 2-8 C and keep it out of light. A report for an earlier sample is not the paperwork for your lot.
MOTS-C is a peptide of 16 amino acids. It is coded in a short stretch of mitochondrial DNA (the 12S rRNA, or MT-RNR1, region), so it is called a mitochondrial-derived peptide. It was first described in 2015. It is studied in cell and animal research on mitochondria and the AMPK energy-sensing pathway. We supply it freeze-dried for lab research only. Technical details: sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR, formula C101H152N28O22S2, molecular weight 2174.6 g/mol.
MOTS-C stands for Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c. ORF means open reading frame: a stretch of DNA that can be read to make a peptide. The name shows that its gene sits inside the mitochondria's 12S rRNA region, not in the cell's nucleus. Our spec sheet shows this next to the sequence and molecular weight. This is identity information, not a direction for use.
The current batch is lot MOT-2506, a 10 mg freeze-dried vial. Our spec sheet describes a freeze-dried look, and storage follows the label. Our lab report for MOTS-C is a peptide vial test by Janoshik, which measured 11.15 mg of peptide in the vial. It covers an earlier sample lot, FL20260410-MOTS-10, not lot MOT-2506 that we list. These are catalogue details and earlier sample details, not current test findings or instructions for use.
It is a small peptide coded in mitochondrial DNA, not in the DNA of the cell's nucleus. MOTS-C is one of a small family of these peptides found fairly recently. Another well-known one is humanin. They are an active area of research on mitochondria and metabolism.
Research looks at its role in how mitochondria work, how cells respond to metabolic stress, and the AMPK energy pathway. Related work looks at metabolism, exercise and ageing. Almost all of this is cell and rodent research, first reported by Lee and colleagues in 2015. These are research topics, not effects of this product.
In research, MOTS-C is most linked to AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), the cell's main energy sensor. It is also linked to how cells handle glucose (sugar) under metabolic stress. Lee and colleagues first described this in cell and mouse studies in 2015. They linked MOTS-C to the folate (one-carbon) pathway. This is research background, not a product effect.

Why do researchers study it?
First, the honest part. Almost all MOTS-C research is in cell cultures and rodents. Human studies only measure the MOTS-C people already make. They do not test what happens when someone is given it. The whole field of these peptides is barely ten years old.
Here is why it caught attention. Nearly everything the body builds is coded in DNA in the cell's nucleus. Mitochondria are the exception: they keep their own small loop of DNA. Many scientists think this is left over from a time when mitochondria were free-living organisms. MOTS-C is coded in that loop, in a stretch called MT-RNR1, where nobody expected peptides to be made.
The studies then looked at AMPK, the cell's fuel gauge. When energy runs low, AMPK switches on and moves the cell from storing fuel to using it. Across the research, MOTS-C is the peptide most linked to this pathway, mostly in mice and in cell cultures under metabolic stress.
This page is about that research and the batch you get. It is not a claim about what this vial will do for anyone. It is not for people or animals to take.
MOTS-C is a chain of 16 amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). A fact about the molecule, not a product claim.
Lee et al., Cell Metabolism, 2015The year MOTS-C was first described. It belongs to a small family of peptides coded in mitochondrial DNA. Research background, not a product claim.

Plain-language research labels
Where it is coded, which pathway it is linked to, and the odd thing it does when a cell runs short of fuel. Research terms in plain words, not a description of what this vial does.
Made from mitochondrial DNA
Nearly everything the body builds is coded in DNA in the cell's nucleus. Mitochondria are the exception: they keep their own small loop of DNA. MOTS-C is coded in that loop, in a stretch called MT-RNR1. That is what 'mitochondrial-derived peptide' means, and why the 2015 finding was a surprise.
The AMPK energy pathway
AMPK is the switch a cell uses to sense that it is low on fuel. When it switches on, the cell moves from storing energy to using it. MOTS-C is the peptide most linked to this pathway in research. Lee and colleagues described this work in cells and mice in 2015.
Moves to the nucleus under stress
The most surprising finding. Kim and colleagues reported that when glucose (sugar) runs short, MOTS-C leaves the mitochondria and moves into the cell's nucleus. There it can affect genes that respond to stress. That is unusual for a peptide. This work was in human cell cultures.
