MOTS-c Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide for Research
Technical Overview
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that acts as a signaling molecule linking mitochondrial activity directly to cellular metabolism. It is studied for its role in regulating metabolism, cellular energy production and insulin sensitivity, and for its influence on how cells process glucose and fatty acids.
Research applications
- Metabolic regulation: glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.
- Cellular energy: mitochondrial function and energy output.
- Muscle research: muscle endurance, recovery and metabolic efficiency.
- Aging research: cellular longevity and metabolic resilience.
- Fat metabolism: how fatty acids are used and stored.
Under controlled laboratory conditions, scientists measure how MOTS-c influences glucose uptake and energy balance, which helps clarify the connection between mitochondria and overall metabolic health. It is also studied in models of obesity and metabolic syndrome, including how it regulates cellular energy during metabolic stress.

Storage & Intended Use
Storage Instructions+
Handling and Storage Tips:
- On arrival, store the sealed vial at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- For short-term storage (days to weeks), refrigeration at 2–8 °C is acceptable.
- Lyophilized peptides tolerate room temperature for short periods, such as during shipping.
- Let the vial reach room temperature before opening, to avoid condensation.
- Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
