Where can researchers buy MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is available for sale directly from this product page in a 10mg research vial. Orders are fulfilled from U.S. facilities in Florida and California and dispatched within 24 hours. At checkout, buyers confirm they are 21 or older and that the material is being purchased strictly for laboratory research use, not for human or animal use.

Is a certificate of analysis published for MOTS-c?

Yes. Every batch of MOTS-c is submitted to an independent laboratory, and the certificate of analysis for the exact lot being shipped is published in the lab results section of this site. That means the COA can be reviewed before an order is placed, rather than requested afterward, so identity and purity data for the current lot are visible in advance.

What makes MOTS-c a high-purity research compound here?

Purity and identity are not self-reported. Each production lot is analyzed by an outside testing laboratory, and the resulting certificate is posted with the lot reference so the reported figures can be checked against the vial received. The published COA for the current lot is the authoritative source for purity data on this MOTS-c listing.

What format and size is supplied?

This listing supplies MOTS-c in a 10mg research vial. The dose and format are stated on the product title and label so laboratory records can be matched to the shipped lot. Any accompanying reconstitution solvent, such as bacteriostatic water, is ordered separately and is likewise intended only for laboratory research applications.

Is MOTS-c approved for human use?

No. Real Peptides is a chemical supplier, not a compounding pharmacy. MOTS-c is sold strictly as a research-use-only laboratory compound. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic, has no approval for human or veterinary use, and is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease.

How quickly does MOTS-c ship, and from where?

MOTS-c ships from domestic warehouses in Florida and California, with orders leaving the facility within 24 hours of being placed. Because stock is held in the United States, domestic shipments avoid international customs handling. Tracking details are issued once the order is dispatched so receipt can be logged against the corresponding lot number.

How should MOTS-c be handled once it arrives?

Vials should be inspected on arrival, matched to the published lot certificate, and stored according to the receiving laboratory's standard operating procedures, typically cool, dry, and protected from light. Handling, labeling, and disposal remain the responsibility of the purchasing laboratory, and the material should be kept clearly segregated from any non-research inventory.

What should be compared when evaluating MOTS-c for sale?

Useful comparison points include whether testing is performed by an independent laboratory rather than in-house, whether the certificate is tied to the specific lot shipped and published openly, where inventory is held and how fast it dispatches, and whether the compound is labeled unambiguously for research use only.

MOTS-c Peptide for Laboratory Research

~~$86.40~~$43.20Save 50%

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, and it is used in preclinical laboratory work as a signaling molecule in energy-metabolism, AMPK-pathway, and cellular-stress investigations. It is studied only in cell culture and animal models, and it is not a drug, supplement, or cosmetic.

Real Peptides supplies MOTS-c in a 10mg research vial. Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory, and the certificate for the current lot is published in the lab results section of this site so its identity and purity figures can be reviewed before purchase. Orders ship from U.S. facilities in Florida and California within 24 hours. Purchasers confirm they are 21 or older and are acquiring the material strictly for laboratory research use.

99% Pure | Multi Dose | Finished in the USAMOTS-c peptide is a 16–amino-acid mitochondrial-derived signaling peptide used in preclinical models to probe energy-metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cellular stress responses. In cell culture and rodent assays, MOTS-c enhances glucose uptake, modulates AMPK pathways, and supports resilience under metabolic stress. Each 10 mg vial is HPLC-verified to ≥ 99% purity, endotoxin-screened (< 0.1 EU/mg), and formulated for laboratory research.

What Is MOTS-c Peptide?

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open-Reading-Frame of the 12S rRNA-Type c) is a 16–amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It acts as a mitochondrial hormone, signaling through AMPK and other metabolic pathways to regulate glucose and lipid homeostasis. In research settings, MOTS-c is applied to cell-culture, organotypic, and in vivo models to explore its role in metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and cellular stress responses—all without engaging systemic hormone axes.

Why Choose MOTS-c Peptide?

Researchers choose MOTS-c when they need a precise tool for studying mitochondrial-to-nuclear signaling, energy metabolism, and aging-related pathways. Its ability to trigger AMPK activation and downstream gene programs (PGC-1α, Nrf2) makes it ideal for experiments on metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes models, and longevity assays. Manufactured in facilities and verified ≥ 99% pure by HPLC—with endotoxin < 0.1 EU/mg—MOTS-c peptide delivers reproducible, high-fidelity data for cutting-edge metabolic research.

What Sets MOTS-c Peptide Apart?

Unlike generic metabolic modulators, MOTS-c is unique as a mitochondrial-derived peptide that directly communicates cellular energy status to nuclear gene programs. Its dual action—enhancing glucose uptake and promoting antioxidant defenses—offers a multi-pathway approach to studying metabolic resilience and aging. With demonstrated stability both lyophilized and in solution, MOTS-c peptide stands out as a next-generation research reagent for dissecting the interplay between mitochondrial health and systemic metabolism.
