MOTS-c

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on metabolic health, cellular protection, and aging.

Studies have shown that MOTS-c activates AMPK pathways, improves glucose uptake, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes lipid oxidation. It may also play a role in mitochondrial function, inflammation control, and resistance to oxidative stress.

Key Research Areas:

• AMPK activation and metabolic regulation
• Insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
• Cellular resilience to oxidative stress
• Mitochondrial protection and longevity studies
• Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective pathways

Storage Instructions

All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months.
Once the peptides are [Content restricted for research compliance], they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. [Content restricted for research compliance]stable for up to 30 days.
Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. [Content restricted for research compliance].
Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used immediately, or in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4℃ (39℉) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.

However, for longer term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80℃ (-112℉). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
