Most peptides are coded by your main DNA. This one is coded by your mitochondria.
A genuinely weird origin story.
Here's the genuinely strange part: MOTS-c is encoded by your mitochondria, not your main DNA.
(A peptide is a short chain of the building blocks your body uses.) Your mitochondria are the little power plants inside your cells, and they turn out to carry instructions for a few tiny peptides of their own. MOTS-c is one, just 16 amino acids long.
It lives on the Skin + Longevity shelf next to other cellular-energy compounds like NAD+.
MOTS-c is studied for how it relates to cellular energy and metabolism, especially a sensor called AMPK that helps cells manage their energy budget.
The idea researchers poke at is that this little mitochondrial message helps coordinate how cells respond to metabolic stress. Mostly cell and animal work. That is the mechanism. We're describing what gets studied, not promising an outcome.
MOTS-c was first described in 2015, which makes it young, and its mitochondrial origin makes it unusual. You can dig into the literature on PubMed.
The headline is that MOTS-c is encoded by mitochondrial DNA and studied for cellular energy and the AMPK pathway. A young but fast-growing research file, mostly preclinical. None of it is a claim about what it does for a person.
The energy-sensing pathway research points at.
Coded by the power plant's own DNA.
We stock it for research. The studies write the conclusions, not us.
One of the few peptides your power plants wrote themselves.
MOTS-c was found in a stretch of mitochondrial DNA nobody expected to make peptides.
Identified within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA.
Helped define mitochondrial-derived peptides as a research class.
Young, novel, and actively studied. We're not telling you what it does for you, just where the studies look.
Every batch ships with its Certificate of Analysis, right here on this page. A number on a label means nothing without the paper to back it.
