Description
MOTS-C 20MG — Research Peptide
MOTS-C 20MG is a mitochondrial-derived research peptide of interest in laboratory investigations involving cellular metabolism, mitochondrial signaling, energy homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and cellular stress-response pathways.
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide that has become an important subject of experimental research into communication between mitochondria and the rest of the cell. Research has examined its relationship with metabolic signaling, AMPK-associated pathways, glucose metabolism, cellular stress responses, and mitochondrial function.

Mitochondrial & Metabolic Research
MOTS-C is particularly notable because it belongs to a class of signaling molecules known as mitochondrial-derived peptides. Rather than viewing mitochondria solely as cellular energy-producing organelles, research involving MOTS-C has helped explore their additional role in cellular signaling and communication.
Experimental studies have investigated MOTS-C in relation to cellular energy sensing, metabolic homeostasis, mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication, AMPK-associated signaling, and the cellular response to metabolic stress.
Research Areas
MOTS-C has been investigated in experimental laboratory research involving areas such as:
- Mitochondrial signaling
- Cellular energy homeostasis
- AMPK-associated signaling pathways
- Glucose and metabolic pathways
- Metabolic adaptation
- Cellular stress-response mechanisms
- Mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication
- Mitochondrial bioenergetics
Independent Testing & Batch Transparency
ChoicePeps emphasizes transparent batch documentation. Applicable MOTS-C batches are independently analyzed by third-party laboratories, with available analytical documentation published through our Currently Shipping COAs and Full Batch Ledger.
Researchers can use the batch number shown on the product label and packing documentation to locate the corresponding analytical record and review available information such as identity, purity, and measured content.
