What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA. The name stands for mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c, after the gene that holds its sequence. Lee and colleagues first described it in 2015, and it belongs to a small group of mitochondrial-derived peptides, along with humanin, that signal beyond the mitochondria.

Our 40 mg vial is lyophilized powder, with its 2,174.6 g/mol identity confirmed by LC-MS. Smaller sizes include MOTS-c 10mg. The sequence contains methionines and a tryptophan that oxidize easily, so keep vials sealed, cold and dark. It’s sold for laboratory research only. Shop MOTS C.
