MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome — a discovery that fundamentally reframed thinking about mitochondria as purely energy-producing organelles. Since its identification, MOTS-c has been studied as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that appears to act as a systemic signaling molecule, influencing processes beyond the mitochondria itself.
Research has investigated MOTS-c's role in cellular energy regulation, particularly its apparent activation of AMPK — a master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. Studies have explored how MOTS-c influences glucose metabolism, fatty acid oxidation pathways, and mitochondrial dynamics in pre-clinical models. Its ability to translocate to the nucleus under stress conditions and influence gene transcription has made it a subject of interest in mitochondrial biology and aging research.
MOTS-c research has also examined its behavior under conditions of metabolic stress, exercise physiology models, and cellular senescence, where mitochondrial signaling plays a documented role. It represents a broader research movement toward understanding how mitochondrial-derived peptides communicate with the rest of the cell and organism.
myPEPT supplies MOTS-c at ≥99% verified purity with a Certificate of Analysis from independent lab testing. Lyophilized and shipped across the EU in research-grade packaging.
What researchers should know: MOTS-c is a research peptide supplied strictly for laboratory use. It is not approved for human use and is not a therapeutic compound. Always handle in accordance with your institution's safety and research protocols.

Frequently asked
7 questionsHow fast is delivery and which carriers do you use?
Orders placed before 16:00 CET ship the same business day from the Netherlands via DPD or PostNL. EU-wide delivery typically takes 2–5 working days, fully tracked. Every parcel ships in plain, unbranded packaging with no peptide-related markings visible.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept iDEAL (Netherlands), Bancontact (Belgium), PayPal, Klarna pay-later, SEPA instant bank transfer, and Visa/Mastercard credit and debit cards. All payments are processed through PCI-DSS-compliant European processors. Bank transfer and card orders ship within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
How do you verify peptide purity?
Every batch is HPLC-tested to 99% purity or higher by an independent third-party laboratory, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. The batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is published on every product page and delivered with the order.
Are research peptides legal to buy in the Netherlands and EU?
Yes — when sold and purchased strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. Research peptides on my\PEPT.eu are not approved, marketed or intended for human or veterinary use, medical diagnosis or therapeutic application. By placing an order you confirm research-only intent and accept responsibility for compliance with local regulations.
How should research peptides be stored?
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides keep up to 24 months at −20 °C in a sealed vial. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and direct sunlight.
What is MOTS-C as a research peptide?
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondria-derived peptide of 16 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 2,174 Da. It is studied in laboratory research for its role in metabolic cell signalling pathways. MOTS-C is intended for laboratory research only and has not been evaluated by the EMA or FDA for human use.
How should MOTS-C be stored?
Lyophilized MOTS-C is stable for up to 24 months at −20 °C in a sealed, light-protected vial. After reconstitution in bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and prolonged exposure to ambient temperatures. Supplied for in-vitro research use only.
