MOTS-c Peptide (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c)
For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption
Supplied by A2V Aminos and Peptides


Product Overview

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide consisting of 16 amino acids encoded by the mitochondrial 12S rRNA. It plays a significant role in regulating metabolic homeostasis, energy balance, and insulin sensitivity. Research has shown that MOTS-c can influence cellular metabolism by activating pathways involved in energy expenditure and mitochondrial function, making it of great interest in studies of metabolic diseases, aging, and exercise physiology.


Mechanism of Action

MOTS-c functions primarily by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. By stimulating AMPK and other metabolic pathways, MOTS-c enhances glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis. It also influences nuclear gene expression to promote stress resistance and metabolic adaptation. These effects collectively improve energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity.


Research Applications

  • Metabolic Regulation: Investigated for its ability to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, relevant to diabetes and obesity research.

  • Mitochondrial Function: Studied for promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and enhancing cellular energy production.

  • Exercise Physiology: Explored for its potential to mimic exercise benefits and improve endurance and muscle function.

  • Anti-Aging: Research focuses on MOTS-c’s role in mitigating age-related metabolic decline and promoting longevity.

  • Stress Response: Examined for protective effects against metabolic stress and oxidative damage.


Peptide Stacking Considerations

MOTS-c is sometimes combined experimentally with peptides such as BPC-157 or Thymosin Alpha-1 to explore synergistic effects on metabolism, tissue repair, and immune function. These combinations are for research purposes only and should be handled cautiously.


Legal and Regulatory Status in Australia

In Australia, MOTS-c is classified as a Schedule 4 substance under the Poisons Standard, meaning it is prescription-only. It is not approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for human use and is not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Possession or use without prescription is illegal. MOTS-c is supplied strictly for laboratory research. (tga.gov.au, aussiepeptides.com)
