Mechanism of Action

One Peptide. A Mitochondria-to-Nucleus Signal.

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied as a metabolic messenger between mitochondria and the cell nucleus — activating AMPK and modulating gene expression to enable research into energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial function within a single molecule.

01 — Energy Metabolism

ATP Production

Enhances ATP production and metabolic efficiency by activating AMPK, the master sensor of cellular energy status.

02 — Insulin Sensitivity

Glucose Uptake

Improves glucose uptake and insulin signaling, supporting research into glucose and fatty-acid metabolism.

03 — Mitochondrial Function

Biogenesis & Performance

Supports mitochondrial health, biogenesis, and performance, communicating mitochondrial signals to the nucleus.

Research Findings

Observed Outcomes in Research Models

Documented effects across metabolic health, exercise performance, and mitochondrial biogenesis research applications.

Sustained Cellular Energy

More efficient and sustained cellular energy observed across research models.

Insulin Sensitivity & Fat Metabolism

Improved insulin sensitivity in metabolic models, with reduction of metabolic fat accumulation documented in research.

Endurance & Exercise Adaptation

Greater physical endurance and exercise adaptation, with increased stamina and physical performance in research protocols.

Cellular Protection & Longevity

Supports cellular health, reduces oxidative stress, and promotes cellular longevity in research applications.

Vial Preparation Overview

Reconstitution — General Overview

For research reference only. Final protocol should be determined by the researcher.

1

Start

Lyophilized peptide powder, sealed vial.

2

Add Diluent

Add sterile bacteriostatic water slowly down the side of the vial.

3

Gentle Swirl

Swirl gently until the powder is completely dissolved. Never shake.

4

Solution

Clear solution is now ready for research use.

5

Store

Store refrigerated (2°C – 8°C).

⚠ Do not shake. Avoid vigorous agitation to preserve peptide integrity.

Handling Considerations

  • Use aseptic technique at all times
  • Use sterile laboratory-grade water for reconstitution
  • Do not shake the vial — swirl gently only
  • Store lyophilized powder at -20°C
  • Store reconstituted solution at 2°C – 8°C and use within the recommended time
  • Protect from light and use calibrated laboratory equipment for accuracy
