MOTS-C

About MOTS-C

MOTS-C is a sixteen-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome — a rare example of a signalling molecule produced by mitochondria themselves. It has attracted growing attention in metabolic research since its discovery in the mid-2010s.

Research laboratories study MOTS-C in cellular and animal models of metabolic regulation, particularly its interaction with the AMPK pathway and its role in glucose and lipid metabolism assays. It is widely used in metabolic and cellular-ageing research programs.

Pickering Peptides manufactures every batch to strict quality standards. Each lot is verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass-spectrometry testing at 99% purity or higher, then sealed as a lyophilized powder. Orders ship from our facility in Pickering, Ontario, and every order includes the batch report key so you can verify the lab results directly with the testing laboratory.
