MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the twelve-S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome. First characterized in 2015, it belongs to a class of small peptides expressed from mitochondrial DNA and studied for their signaling roles between the mitochondria and the nucleus. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro and preclinical laboratory investigation, this material is intended for qualified researchers examining mitochondrial-derived peptide biology, AMPK-associated signaling, and cellular metabolism research. Each unit is characterized for research identity and purity and provided solely as a reference chemical for controlled laboratory settings.

MOTS-c was identified through analysis of short open reading frames within mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA, establishing it as one of the mitochondrial-derived peptides.1 In published preclinical models, research has examined its role in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and the folate–methionine one-carbon cycle, positioning the peptide within mitochondrial signaling research and cellular metabolism research.1,2 Subsequent work reported that MOTS-c can translocate to the nucleus under conditions of metabolic stress, where it has been investigated for its role in the regulation of nuclear gene expression and stress-adaptive transcriptional pathways.3 Additional studies have characterized MOTS-c as an exercise-associated, mitochondrial-encoded factor examined in the context of skeletal-muscle homeostasis research and age-associated physiological change in rodent model systems.4 Collectively, this literature frames MOTS-c as a tool compound for investigating mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde signaling and metabolic-homeostasis research pathways. All statements here summarize published laboratory findings and are provided for scientific reference only; no data are presented as evidence of safety or effect in humans or animals.
