Description

What is MOTS-C (Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide)

MOTS-C is a peptide distinguished by its origin — unlike most peptides, it’s encoded within mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA. This unique origin ties it closely to cellular energy regulation, and it’s associated with supporting glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and broader metabolic homeostasis, alongside interest in exercise endurance and cellular aging pathways.

Also known as: Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide, MOTS-C Peptide

Specifications

Why the Mitochondrial Origin Matters
Most peptides are derived from nuclear DNA sequences. MOTS-C is one of a small class of mitochondrial-derived peptides, giving it a direct link to cellular energy production rather than the receptor-based mechanisms seen in peptides like Melanotan II. This is part of why it’s discussed specifically in the context of metabolic function and exercise endurance rather than pigmentation or other receptor-mediated effects.

Use Profile
Metabolic Function Support — Associated with glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity

HOW TO USE MOTS-C PEPTIDE:

MOTS-C can be administered via subcutaneous injection. It is typically injected 1-3 times per week, depending on the desired effects and individual health goals. Regular administration over several weeks is recommended for notable improvements in energy levels, metabolic health, and exercise endurance.

Just like GHK-Cu, which is known for its regenerative and anti-aging benefits, MOTS-C is becoming increasingly recognized for its metabolic and anti-aging potential. Both peptides support cellular health and recovery, making them valuable in both cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
