Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP)
MOTS-c is a short peptide coded by mitochondrial DNA, a so-called mitochondrial-derived peptide. Researchers study it in cell metabolism and mitochondrial signalling.
Research use only: laboratory and in-vitro work. Not for use in people or animals, and not for diagnostics.

On requestMOTS-c has 16 amino acids and is encoded in the mitochondrial genome. It was among the first mitochondrial-derived peptides described. Metabolic and mitochondrial-signalling studies use it.
MOTS-c comes in sealed kits of 10 or 30 freeze-dried vials. Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available. For laboratory and in-vitro research only.
MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide coded in mitochondrial DNA, inside the 12S rRNA gene. It was one of the first mitochondrial-derived peptides on record. Papers connect it to AMPK signalling and to the folate–methionine cycle.
Under metabolic stress it has been reported to travel to the nucleus. There, according to the literature, it affects nuclear gene expression. A signal running from mitochondria to nucleus is unusual. That is why researchers treat it as its own kind of tool, not one more receptor ligand.
A short summary of published work, given as research context. It makes no therapeutic claim.
MOTS-c was first characterised in a 2015 Cell Metabolism paper, with metabolic effects in animal models. A 2023 review in Frontiers in Endocrinology gathers what has been published since.
Research focuses on mitochondrial signalling, insulin sensitivity and exercise biology. All of it is preclinical. No approved medicine anywhere contains MOTS-c.
Written for education from published papers. It promises no result to anyone who buys, and NordPeps sells MOTS-c for laboratory research only.
Unopened vials. Store at 2–8 °C. For long periods, −20 °C or colder. Room temperature is fine in transit, but it is not a way to store a peptide.
After reconstitution. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Do not freeze: ice crystals break the peptide down for good. In bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), labs usually work through a vial within about 30 days. With plain sterile water, the window is 24–48 hours.
Keep vials closed and out of the light. If you hold frozen stock, thaw it as few times as you can; each cycle loses some activity.

A 10-vial kit costs €319 (10 mg) or €479 (40 mg). A 30-vial kit costs three times as much (€957 or €1,437). Delivery is free on every kit, to all 27 EU countries.

A short peptide coded by mitochondrial DNA instead of nuclear DNA. MOTS-c is one of the most studied, and metabolism labs use it as a research tool.
We sell this compound only in sealed kits of 10 identical vials, or 30. A 10-vial kit is the smallest order.
Unopened: 2–8 °C; for long stretches, −20 °C. Reconstituted: in the fridge, never frozen. Details are under storage and handling.
By the volume of bacteriostatic water you add, not by the vial size alone. Enter the vial size and the diluent volume in the reconstitution calculator and it gives you the concentration.
No. The literature is preclinical and no medicine containing MOTS-c has been approved. “Research use only” means exactly that: the science is still in progress.
Kits leave us 24–48 hours after payment, in a plain box with tracking. Delivery stays within the EU. Laboratory research use only.
