MOTS-c stands out among research peptides because it is encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than in the cell nucleus. Interest in it has grown quickly, and so has the number of sellers. If you are looking for MOTS-c for sale, use this guide to check the specifications you should expect, compare sizes and prices, and order from a supplier that tests every batch.
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a peptide of 16 amino acids encoded by a short open reading frame inside the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It was first described in 2015 by Lee and colleagues in the journal Cell Metabolism. The name stands for “mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c”.

MOTS-c in laboratory research
MOTS-c is studied as one of a small group of mitochondrial-derived peptides, mainly in cell and animal models of metabolism. It remains investigational, and results from those models cannot be taken as evidence of safety or effect in people. MOTS-c is not an approved medicine anywhere; ours is sold for laboratory research use only.
