MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the Twelve S rRNA type c) is a mitochondria derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome. A discovery that fundamentally expanded the understood coding capacity of the mitochondrial genome beyond oxidative phosphorylation machinery. Hudson Science’s 10mg lyophilized vial delivers the lowest concentration standalone MOTS-C presentation in CSD’s range. Below the iLab Pharma 40mg lyophilized vial and F40 Biotech 60mg prefilled pen, providing the most accessible entry point into MOTS-C research and the most granular low dose titration capability for researchers establishing initial dose response characterization at conservative concentration points.
MOTS-C’s primary research mechanism centres on AMPK pathway activation through mitochondria to nucleus translocation in response to metabolic stress. A retrograde signaling pathway that directly influences nuclear gene expression and represents a novel mechanism of metabolic regulation not previously attributed to mitochondrially encoded peptides. AMPK activation downstream of MOTS-C signaling promotes glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis while suppressing energy consuming anabolic pathways. Coordinated metabolic response generating significant research interest across insulin sensitivity, exercise mimetics, obesity, and age related metabolic decline studies. MOTS-C’s well documented plasma concentration decline with age additionally positions it as a key subject in mitochondrial peptide mediated ageing research alongside Epithalon and NAD+ in CSD’s longevity compound range.
CSD stocks MOTS-C across three formats: this Hudson Science 10mg lyophilized vial, the iLab Pharma 40mg lyophilized vial, and the F40 Biotech 60mg prefilled pen, alongside its inclusion as a component in the iLab Pharma Anti Aging Peptide Stack. The 10mg single vial serves as the protocol entry point and dose response lower reference, the 40mg vial suits extended standalone protocols requiring reconstitution flexibility, and the 60mg pen provides ready to use administration convenience for repeated parenteral research schedules. Giving researchers complete MOTS-C format and concentration flexibility from a single verified Canadian supplier.

MOTS-c, short for Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA Type-c, is a naturally occurring 16 amino acid mitochondrial derived peptide. Unlike most peptides encoded by nuclear DNA, MOTS-c originates from a small open reading frame within mitochondrial DNA. It functions as a mitochondrial signaling molecule involved in cellular metabolism, metabolic stress responses, and communication between mitochondria and the nucleus. This product contains 10mg of lyophilized MOTS-c in a single vial for laboratory research.
MOTS-c is primarily investigated in research involving glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, skeletal muscle function, mitochondrial biology, energy homeostasis, metabolic stress, exercise adaptation, and age related metabolic changes. Preclinical studies have reported effects on glucose utilization, insulin resistance, fat accumulation, and physical capacity, while human research has examined naturally occurring MOTS-c responses to exercise and metabolic health.
Research indicates that MOTS-c influences metabolic regulation through pathways involving AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK), an important cellular energy sensor. MOTS-c has been shown experimentally to alter folate and purine metabolism, increase AMPK signaling, and influence glucose utilization in skeletal muscle. Under metabolic stress, MOTS-c can also translocate to the nucleus and regulate genes associated with cellular adaptation and homeostasis.
Skeletal muscle is a major target of MOTS-c metabolic signaling. Experimental studies have reported improvements in glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and physical performance in animal models, while human research has shown that exercise can increase MOTS-c concentrations in skeletal muscle and circulation. These findings have made MOTS-c an important research target for understanding mitochondrial responses to physical activity and metabolic stress.
Yes! This batch is HPLC tested to verify MOTS-c identity and content accuracy at 10mg per vial. A certificate of analysis is available.
