Description
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide first described in 2015. Unlike most peptides, its code sits in the DNA of the mitochondria, the cell's energy centres, rather than in the cell nucleus.
That unusual origin has made MOTS-c a focus of research into how mitochondria signal to the rest of the cell. Preclinical studies have explored it in models of metabolism, glucose handling and exercise physiology. Each Monark vial contains 10mg of lyophilized peptide, tested by an independent laboratory.

The peptide
What is MOTS-c?
Mitochondria carry their own small set of DNA. MOTS-c is a short peptide encoded within it, in a gene region called 12S rRNA, which is where its name comes from.
It belongs to a newer family of so-called mitochondrial-derived peptides, studied for how mitochondria may communicate with the rest of the cell.
- 16 amino acids
- Encoded in mitochondrial DNA
- Lyophilized for stability in storage
