MOTS-c research peptide

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It has been the subject of laboratory and preclinical research examining mitochondrial signaling, metabolic regulation, and cellular stress responses.

Researchers study MOTS-c for its interactions with key metabolic pathways.

Because MOTS-c originates from the mitochondrial genome and influences both metabolic and nuclear gene expression pathways, it provides researchers with a unique tool to examine mitochondria-to-nucleus signaling and related metabolic processes in laboratory settings.

Areas of laboratory interest

Activation of AMPK signaling through modulation of the folate cycle and accumulation of AICAR
Regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism in experimental models
Mitochondrial communication with the nucleus and stress-adaptive gene expression
Cellular energy homeostasis and metabolic flexibility under controlled conditions
Pathways associated with exercise-related metabolic adaptations and aging biology

Storage conditions

Long-term storage: For optimal stability, store lyophilized peptides in a freezer at approximately −20°C (−4°F) and protect from direct light.

Refrigerated storage: Short-term storage at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) may be appropriate depending on the specific product. Always refer to the product label or lot-specific documentation for storage requirements.

Handling and shelf life

When stored properly in their original lyophilized powder form, peptides may remain suitable for research use for approximately 18 to 24 months.

After reconstitution, peptides should be stored under refrigeration at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) and used within approximately 30 to 45 days, unless otherwise specified in the product documentation.

Avoid prolonged exposure to room temperature, direct light, and unnecessary temperature fluctuations to help maintain product stability.

Amino Connection takes care in preparing research products for shipment and uses appropriate cold-packaging methods when applicable to help protect products during transit.
