MOTS-c

MOTS-c – Available in 10mg 20mg and 40mg vial

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide for Cellular Energy, Metabolic Signalling & Longevity Research

MOTS-c is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Unlike most peptides studied in biological research, which originate from nuclear DNA, MOTS-c is produced from the mitochondrial genome, placing it within a unique class of signalling molecules involved in cellular energy regulation and metabolic communication.

Researchers have shown significant interest in MOTS-c for its potential role in mitochondrial signalling, energy utilisation, metabolic adaptation, and cellular stress-response pathways. These characteristics have made it one of the most widely studied compounds in research examining healthy ageing, metabolic health, and cellular resilience.
