## Description

MOTS-c 40mg — mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in metabolic-regulation and AMPK-pathway research. High-value research vial. ≥99% HPLC purity, COA verified.

## Detailed Overview

**Mitochondrial-Derived Metabolic Research (High-Value Vial)**

MOTS-c is available in Australia from Peptide Warehouse Australia with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It is studied as a mitochondrial-to-nucleus signalling peptide that influences cellular metabolism, with particular research interest in its activation of the AMPK pathway and its role in glucose handling and metabolic homeostasis. This 40mg vial is intended for extended research programmes that require a reliable high-quantity supply.

**What MOTS-c Is Studied For**

**Metabolic regulation** — Studied for AMPK-pathway activation and glucose-metabolism signalling in preclinical models.
**Mitochondrial signalling** — Investigated as a mitochondrial-derived peptide acting between mitochondria and the nucleus.
**Insulin sensitivity** — Researched for effects on insulin-sensitivity and energy-homeostasis pathways in research models.
**Exercise & ageing models** — Studied for metabolic-adaptation pathways in exercise and age-related research models.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is MOTS-c and how does it work in research?

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. In preclinical research it is studied as a mitochondrial-to-nucleus signalling peptide that influences cellular metabolism — most notably through activation of the AMPK pathway — and for its role in glucose handling, insulin sensitivity and metabolic homeostasis. Supplied at ≥99% HPLC purity for in-vitro research use only.

### Why choose the 40mg MOTS-c vial over the 10mg?

The 40mg vial offers better cost-per-milligram efficiency for laboratories running extended research protocols, and reduces the frequency of reordering and reconstitution for active research programmes. It delivers the same research-grade ≥99% HPLC purity and full COA documentation as our 10mg MOTS-c (/products/mots-c) — just in a higher-quantity format. Researchers requiring smaller working quantities may prefer the 10mg size. Not for human consumption — for research use only.

### How does MOTS-c differ from SS-31 in mitochondrial research?

Both are mitochondria-related research peptides but act differently. MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region that acts as a signalling molecule influencing AMPK and metabolic pathways. SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that physically localises to the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds cardiolipin, studied for membrane stabilisation and bioenergetics. They are complementary but distinct research tools and are not interchangeable. Not for human consumption — for research use only.

### How do I reconstitute and store MOTS-c 40mg?

Reconstitution: Add 1–2mL of bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial with a 31G syringe and swirl gently until dissolved; do not shake. Because this is a 40mg vial, choose a reconstitution volume appropriate to your protocol's working concentration. Storage: Lyophilised — store at −20°C for up to 24 months. Reconstituted — refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 4 weeks, protected from light. BAC water is available at /products/bac-water-10ml. Not for human consumption — for research use only.

### Is MOTS-c legal to buy in Australia and what testing is included?

Legal status: MOTS-c is legal to purchase in Australia for legitimate laboratory research purposes. It is not for human consumption, therapeutic, cosmetic, or veterinary use and is not TGA-approved. Purchasers must be 18+ and confirm research-only intent. Quality: each batch is independently verified by third-party HPLC at ≥99% purity with a full COA including HPLC purity %, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and sterility screening. Full COAs are available in our COA Library.

### Where can I buy MOTS-c 40mg in Australia and how does it ship?

Peptide Warehouse Australia stocks MOTS-c 40mg and ships nationwide via Australia Post with full tracking. Orders placed before 12PM AEST dispatch the same business day from our Melbourne warehouse; orders after 12PM AEST dispatch the next business day. Standard Post $8.99 (2–6 business days); Express Post $13.99 (1–3 business days); free shipping on all orders over $199 AUD. All orders ship in discreet plain packaging with no external branding. Not for human consumption — for research use only.
