Product Information

MOTS-c | Mitochondria-Derived Metabolic Peptide — Research Grade

MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene (MT-RNR1), making it one of the few mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs) identified in humans. It translocates to the nucleus during metabolic stress and directly modulates gene expression related to glucose homeostasis.

Mechanism of Action

  • AMPK activation — activates AMP-activated protein kinase, the master metabolic switch governing glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation
  • Folate cycle modulation — inhibits the folate cycle and de novo purine synthesis, triggering AICAR accumulation and downstream AMPK signalling
  • Exercise-mimicking — plasma levels increase with physical exercise; supplementation mimics exercise-like metabolic adaptations in rodent models
  • Insulin sensitisation — improves insulin sensitivity in high-fat diet and diabetic rodent models

Research Areas

MOTS-c is studied in type 2 diabetes, obesity, exercise physiology, skeletal muscle metabolism, and longevity/ageing biology. Circulating MOTS-c levels decline with age, making it a candidate for ageing research interventions.

For Research Use Only. Rainbow Peptide supplies MOTS-c exclusively for in vitro and laboratory research purposes. Not for human or veterinary use.

GHK-Cu lot was outstanding

We use GHK-Cu in dermal fibroblast research. This lot performed exactly as expected — >98% purity HPLC. The COA cited the reference standard lot number. That detail is rare at this price point.

Best Epithalon sourcing this quarter

Sourced Epithalon from three vendors this quarter. Rainbow Peptide had the most detailed COA and lowest endotoxin levels measured. Will be primary source for our current project.

Good peptide, delivered fast

GHK-Cu arrived in 2 business days. Cold pack still active on delivery. Peptide dissolved cleanly in bacteriostatic water. COA was comprehensive. Happy with this purchase.
