MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, placing it within a rare class of molecules known as mitochondrial-derived peptides. First identified in 2015, it has been studied for its role in AMPK activation, insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and mitochondrial signalling.

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 – a characteristic that distinguishes it from the majority of research peptides. It belongs to a class of molecules known as mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs).
Since its identification in 2015, research has explored its involvement in AMPK activation, glucose utilisation, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism regulation. Studies have also investigated its function as a mitochondrial signalling molecule, capable of travelling from the mitochondria to the nucleus to influence gene expression in response to metabolic stress. Supplied at ≥99% purity, HPLC verified. Intended strictly for research and laboratory use only.
