MOTS-C
Natural cell-energy peptide
MOTS-C is a very short natural peptide (a tiny chain of amino acids). It is unusual because its recipe is stored inside the cell's power plants, not in the cell's main control center.
Also known as Mitochondrial ORF of the twelve S rRNA type-c · MOTSc
How it is studied
In lab and animal studies it is described as switching on the cell's energy-sensing system, the built-in fuel gauge that tells a cell when to burn energy.
Research context
Studied by researchers looking at how the cell's power plants work and at the biology of aging, often alongside NAD+.
Research area
Longevity, mitochondrial & cellular research. Every cell has its own tiny built-in power plants that make the energy it needs to run. Scientists study the compounds in this group in the lab to learn about cell energy and the biology of aging. They are research tools only, with no established use in people.
Strengths and availability
Single vials in stock: 10mg, 40mg. 10-vial kit prices are for wholesale members; the shop sells single vials and research bundles.
Certificates of analysis
We publish 2 third-party certificates of analysis for MOTS-C (Janoshik, Freedom Diagnostics). A certificate covers only the lot it was run on. Each report is also verifiable at the lab itself.
