MOTS-c | 32mg | 3ml
MOTS‑c is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring mitochondrial‑derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. In research environments, it is used to explore mitochondrial signalling pathways, metabolic regulation, and communication between the mitochondria and nucleus. In biochemical and cellular models, MOTS‑c has been shown to influence intracellular pathways tied to energy sensing, insulin‑related signalling, and cellular stress adaptation. Experimental systems often assess its impact on AMPK activation, metabolic gene regulation, and stress‑responsive signalling cascades. The molecular effects observed vary according to concentration, exposure time, and the specific model used.

How we ship it
Every pre-mixed vial leaves the UK cold and arrives in a plain box. Refrigerate on arrival at 2–8 °C.

Chilled
Vials travel with frozen gel packs inside a sealed foil pouch, which holds temperature for roughly seven days in transit.

Insulated
The pouch sits inside a wool-lined envelope, so the cold chain survives a normal courier journey.

Discreet
Plain outer box with no branding and nothing on the label that names the contents.
Same-day dispatch
Order before 3pm GMT, Monday to Friday.
Free over £100
Tracked UK delivery, next working day.
2–8 °C on arrival
Refrigerate as soon as the parcel lands.

MOTS-c: research FAQs
- What is MOTS-c?
- MOTS-c is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. It belongs to the family of short mitochondrial-derived peptides used as molecular tools in biochemical research. Our material is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use only.
- What is MOTS-c studied for in research?
- In biochemical and cellular models, MOTS-c has been investigated for its effect on intracellular pathways tied to energy sensing, insulin-related signalling, and cellular stress adaptation. Preclinical experimental systems often assess its effect on AMPK activation, metabolic gene regulation, and stress-responsive signalling cascades, as well as mitochondrial-nuclear communication. These are laboratory observations only, and the molecular effects reported vary according to concentration, exposure time, and the specific model used.
- Is MOTS-c legal to buy in the UK?
- MOTS-c is legal to buy and possess in the UK for laboratory research purposes. It is not a licensed medicine and cannot be sold for human or veterinary consumption. Every vial ships labelled for in-vitro research use only.
- What purity is your MOTS-c, and is it lab-tested?
- Our MOTS-c is verified at 99%+ purity by HPLC analysis. The figure printed on each batch's Certificate of Analysis is the actual value recorded in the laboratory, not a marketing claim. Material is synthesised and dispatched from our own UK facility.
- Does MOTS-c come with a Certificate of Analysis?
- Yes, a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis ships with every order. You can also view sample COAs in our COA library before purchasing, so you can review the testing format in advance. Each COA corresponds to the specific batch supplied.
- How is MOTS-c supplied, stored and handled for research?
- MOTS-c is supplied in a sealed vial and shipped cold-chain. Refrigerate at 2°C–8°C as indicated on the label, keep the vial sealed and away from light, and check the batch Certificate of Analysis supplied with your order for the recorded appearance and presentation. Handling should follow standard aseptic laboratory practice.
