MOLECULAR PROFILE

What Is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded by an open reading frame within the 12S ribosomal RNA gene. Vorix Labs supplies MOTS-c as a research catalog item with Janoshik Analytical batch CoA documentation and USA warehouse fulfillment. Laboratory / in-vitro use only — not for human or veterinary use.

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded by an open reading frame within the 12S ribosomal RNA gene. Research has investigated its role as a regulator of AMPK signaling, glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity, and aging-related metabolic decline in cell and animal models.

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide frequently queried for cellular energetics and metabolic pathway research. Vorix Labs lists MOTS-c for researchers who need USA-fulfilled stock with batch CoA coverage — matching search intent around “buy MOTS-c peptide” and “MOTS-c research grade.”

FAQ

MOTS-c — common research questions

Straight answers for researchers comparing purity, CoA documentation, kits, and shipping.

Is MOTS-c for research use only?

Yes. MOTS-c from Vorix Labs is sold strictly for laboratory / in vitro research. It is not for human or veterinary use and is not evaluated by the U.S. FDA for any clinical purpose.

Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis for MOTS-c?

Every Vorix batch is identity-verified with a Janoshik Analytical Certificate of Analysis (CoA). CoA access is available on the product page and through our CoA library for researchers who need batch documentation.

Can I buy MOTS-c as a single vial or a kit of 10?

Yes. Most catalog SKUs offer a single vial and a kit-of-10 option with kit pricing when inventory supports a full kit. Select the package size on the product page before adding to cart.

Where does Vorix Labs ship MOTS-c from?

Orders ship from our USA warehouse with domestic fulfillment. Standard shipping is free on qualifying orders of $250+.
