What is MOTS-C?

MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within mitochondrial 12S rRNA. That origin makes it an unusual research target: it is part of the signaling conversation between mitochondria and the rest of the cell.

Researchers study MOTS-C in models of metabolic stress, nutrient sensing, and cellular adaptation. Much of the evidence is preclinical, and its broader roles across tissues remain an active area of investigation.

How It Works

01

Changes one-carbon metabolism: MOTS-C has been shown to interact with the folate-methionine cycle in experimental models.

02

Raises AICAR signaling: Those pathway changes can increase AICAR, a cellular indicator associated with low-energy conditions.

03

Activates AMPK: AICAR-linked AMPK activation helps researchers examine downstream energy-management and stress-response pathways.

Analytical data

Every lot, on the record

Independent third-party HPLC evaluates the purity target, while mass spectrometry confirms molecular identity. Both results are documented in one combined, batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.

Why Source from 321 Peptides?

Domestic synthesis and finishing.

MOTS-C is manufactured in GMP-certified California and Arizona facilities, not sourced from overseas or Mexico. That keeps the chain of custody short and accountable.

Sequence confidence through two tests.

Third-party HPLC assesses the ≥99% purity target, while mass spectrometry checks the expected 16-residue identity. Results are combined into a lot-specific COA.

Lyophilized protection.

Freeze-drying supports peptide stability during cold storage and domestic transit. Fast U.S. fulfillment reduces unnecessary shipping exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MOTS-C peptide?

MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by a short region of mitochondrial DNA. Researchers study it as a mitochondrial signaling molecule involved in metabolic-stress pathways.

How does MOTS-C work?

Preclinical research suggests MOTS-C alters folate-cycle and purine-synthesis activity, increasing AICAR and activating AMPK. These findings describe experimental mechanisms, not guaranteed human effects.

Is MOTS-C FDA approved?

No, MOTS-C is not FDA approved as a drug for human use. This vial is offered exclusively for non-clinical research.
