MOTS-C Research Overview
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA-c) is a short peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. Discovered in 2015 by Pinchas Cohen's lab at USC, it acts as a mitochondrial signaling peptide that crosses into the nucleus during metabolic stress.

Molecular formula C₁₀₁H₁₅₂N₂₈O₂₂S₂, molecular weight 2174.62 g/mol, sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR (Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg). MOTS-C activates AMPK in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, mimicking many effects of exercise and caloric restriction. It enhances glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis. Plasma levels decline with age, which has driven interest in it as a geroprotector. MOTS-C is supplied as lyophilized powder and is classified in our catalog under mitochondrial-derived peptide for mitochondrial-derived peptide work. Recorded research categories for this compound include insulin sensitivity and type 2 diabetes research, exercise mimetic and metabolic studies, mitochondrial biogenesis research, longevity and aging research. Handling notes: store at -20°c (freezer), protect the vial from light, and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles once reconstituted. Amino Fuel Labs publishes no dosing protocol for MOTS-C: the compound is distributed for in-vitro and preclinical laboratory research only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is MOTS-C called an exercise mimetic?
MOTS-C activates AMPK and increases mitochondrial biogenesis — the same molecular pathways triggered by aerobic exercise. Preclinical models show similar improvements in glucose disposal and endurance.
Is MOTS-C 10mg or 40mg better for research?
The 10mg vial is the standard research size. The 40mg vial is bulk pricing for longer protocols — same compound, same purity, lower cost per mg.
What does the COA cover?
≥99.4% HPLC purity, mass-spec sequence confirmation, endotoxin testing and lot-specific batch number.
What is MOTS-C studied for?
MOTS-C appears in laboratory research covering longevity research, diabetes studies, exercise physiology. All references describe in-vitro and preclinical study models only.
Does MOTS-C include a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Each MOTS-C lot ships with a batch-specific third-party Certificate of Analysis reporting 99.4% purity by reversed-phase HPLC alongside mass-spectrometry identity confirmation.
What form does MOTS-C arrive in?
MOTS-C is supplied as lyophilized powder in a sealed vial, packed with the lot documentation for the exact batch shipped.
