MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a unique, mitochondrial-derived peptide that functions as a systemic signaling molecule. Unlike traditional nuclear-encoded peptides, MOTS-c originates within the mitochondria and is released into circulation to regulate metabolic homeostasis. In current laboratory research, MOTS-c is highly regarded for its potential to improve metabolic flexibility, reverse diet-induced insulin resistance, and enhance physical performance. This 10mg supply from Penguin Peptides is formulated for high-fidelity research, providing scientists with a robust reagent for investigating the intricate connections between mitochondrial health, systemic metabolism, and cellular aging.
The Science of Mitochondrial Signaling
The efficacy of MOTS-c is rooted in its ability to act as a “mitokine,” bridging the gap between mitochondrial health and systemic metabolic control.
Metabolic Flexibility: MOTS-c has been shown to support the body’s ability to shift between fuel sources (glucose and fatty acids), providing a critical tool for studying metabolic syndrome and insulin sensitivity.
Exercise Mimetic Signaling: Research suggests that MOTS-c activity mimics physiological responses to exercise, activating pathways such as AMPK that promote cellular energy efficiency and fat oxidation.
Longevity & Cellular Repair: By influencing nuclear gene expression, MOTS-c is utilized in longitudinal models to study the suppression of inflammation and the promotion of cellular rejuvenation pathways.

Usage Guide
MOTS-c is a potent research reagent. Administration protocols, dosage titration, and environmental monitoring are highly specialized and must be strictly dictated by the clinical research model being performed. Usage is restricted to qualified researchers and clinicians in controlled, sterile environments. Strict adherence to established experimental monitoring and data recording protocols is required.
Safety Information
This product is strictly for professional research and clinical laboratory use. It is not intended for personal, wellness, or anti-aging use. Individuals with histories of metabolic conditions or those sensitive to hormonal modulation must avoid contact with this reagent. Store in a cool, dark, and climate-controlled environment, ideally at -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for current usage, to maintain sequence integrity. Keep entirely secure from non-laboratory personnel.
