Mitochondrial & Longevity
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress and is a primary subject in AMPK and insulin-sensitivity research.
Reference data researchers look up before ordering mots-c. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.
Each mots-c lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.
MOTS-c ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.
PX1 Research synthesizes and fills mots-c in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

In published research it acts through AMPK signaling and folate-methionine metabolism, which is why it is studied in metabolic flexibility models.
Yes — it is transcribed from the mitochondrial 12S rRNA open reading frame, not the nuclear genome.
Yes. Every mots-c lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.
Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
