MOTS-c Single Vial
Anti-Aging / Longevity · single vial · no minimum order
MOTS-c is available as an individual vial shipped from our UK facility, so a laboratory can take one vial rather than a wholesale box. Every single vial is the same material as the factory-direct range, held in the UK for tracked next-working-day delivery, and supplied strictly for laboratory research.

About MOTS-c
MOTS-c (mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that has garnered significant attention in metabolic research. This mitochondrial peptide operates through activation of the AMPK pathway, a crucial cellular energy sensor that regulates metabolic processes. In research models, MOTS-c demonstrates the ability to enhance glucose uptake and promote fatty acid oxidation, fundamental processes in cellular energy metabolism. Studies indicate that this mitochondrial peptide modulates the expression of genes involved in metabolism and stress response pathways, whilst promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Research has shown that MOTS-c can improve insulin sensitivity in laboratory studies, suggesting potential applications in metabolic research. Additionally, studies indicate enhanced exercise capacity in research models, likely through improved mitochondrial function and energy expenditure mechanisms. The peptide's role in promoting mitochondrial biogenesis represents a particularly interesting area of research, as mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various age-related conditions. Research models have demonstrated that MOTS-c supports healthy aging processes through its metabolic regulatory effects. Current evidence is graded as B, with preliminary human trials indicating improvements in metabolic markers and exercise performance. However, researchers note that larger and more comprehensive studies are needed to fully confirm these effects and understand long-term implications. The compound is classified as FDA Category 2, with reclassification to Category 1 expected by February 2026, reflecting evolving regulatory perspectives on mitochondrial peptides in research applications.
Mechanism
Activates AMPK, regulates folate cycle and methionine homocysteine flux. Translocates to nucleus under metabolic stress.
Reported research findings
- Improved insulin sensitivity in preclinical models
- Increased exercise capacity
- Metabolic flexibility
Why a single vial
Pilot and method work
A single vial covers assay development, method validation or a short pilot run without committing to a wholesale quantity of MOTS-c.
UK held, fast turnaround
Vials ship from our UK facility on a tracked service, so a study is not waiting on an international consignment or a customs queue.
Same material as the box
Single vials are drawn from the same vetted manufacturing source as the factory-direct range, with the same batch documentation.
Predictable spend
Small laboratories and independent researchers can budget one vial at a time rather than a full minimum order quantity.
Storage and handling
Before reconstitution
Reconstituted 2 to 8 C up to 30 days.
After reconstitution
Reconstituted solution is held refrigerated at 2 to 8°C and used within the window appropriate to the compound. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent. Our reconstitution calculator works out the diluent volume for a given target concentration.
Documentation
Every vial carries a batch number for traceable laboratory records, and independent verification is encouraged.
See the reconstitution guide and the calculator.
FAQs
Can I order a single vial of MOTS-c without a minimum order?+
Yes. The single-vial range exists precisely so a laboratory can take one vial of MOTS-c rather than a full wholesale box. There is no minimum order quantity on this format.
How quickly does a MOTS-c single vial ship in the UK?+
Single vials are held in our UK facility and dispatched within 24 hours of a cleared payment on working days, on a tracked UK service. Orders placed at the weekend go out on the next working day.
How does the single vial differ from the factory-direct box?+
The compound and the manufacturing source are the same. The factory-direct box is a wholesale multi-vial pack with a minimum order quantity and a lower per-vial cost, while the single vial is one vial from UK stock for small-scale or pilot work.
What purity is stated for MOTS-c?+
99%+ manufacturer-stated purity. Buyers are encouraged to run independent third-party verification, and our testing directory lists laboratories that perform it.
Is this MOTS-c vial for human use?+
No. Every PeptX product, including the single-vial range, is supplied strictly for laboratory research. It is not for human consumption, diagnosis, treatment or any clinical use.
What is MOTS-c?+
MOTS-c (mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide used in metabolic research. It activates the AMPK pathway and influences cellular metabolism through enhanced glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in research models.
How does MOTS-c work?+
MOTS-c works by activating the AMPK pathway, which enhances glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation. It modulates gene expression involved in metabolism and stress response, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and function in research studies.
What is the half-life of MOTS-c?+
The half-life data for MOTS-c is not currently available in published research literature. Researchers should consult current studies for the most up-to-date pharmacokinetic information relevant to their specific research protocols.
How is MOTS-c stored?+
Specific storage requirements for MOTS-c are not detailed in current research data. Researchers should follow standard peptide storage protocols and consult their institutional guidelines for proper storage of mitochondrial peptides in laboratory settings.
