Scarab Vitalis
Sacred Engine of Metabolic Transformation
MOTS-c · Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of 12S rRNA-c
For research & educational purposes only. ≥99.97% purity. Manufactured by Bachem, Switzerland.
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA. Named Scarab Vitalis after the sacred scarab beetle that rolled the sun across the sky — an engine of perpetual transformation.
MOTS-c activates AMPK to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, promotes skeletal muscle glucose uptake independent of insulin, enhances exercise capacity and resistance to metabolic stress, and protects against diet-induced obesity.
Manufactured by Bachem AG under cGMP/ICH Q7 conditions with ≥99.97% HPLC purity and endotoxin-free certification.
Key Benefits
AMPK Activation
Directly activates AMP-activated protein kinase to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism at the cellular level.
Exercise Mimetic
Enhances exercise capacity and endurance by improving mitochondrial function and fatty acid oxidation.
Insulin-Independent Glucose Uptake
Promotes skeletal muscle glucose uptake through non-insulin-dependent GLUT4 translocation.
Obesity Resistance
Protects against diet-induced obesity by increasing energy expenditure and brown fat activation.
