MOTS-c 10mg

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome, in the 12S rRNA gene. It is a focus of research into mitochondrial signalling and cellular metabolism, and is supplied here as a lyophilised powder in a 10mg vial.

Research context

MOTS-c belongs to a small family of mitochondrial-derived peptides. It has been studied in cell and animal models of metabolic regulation, including glucose handling, insulin sensitivity and the cellular response to exercise and stress. Research in humans is at an early stage.

FAQs

What purity is this batch?
The current batch of MOTS-c tested at 99.02% by HPLC, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. The full certificate of analysis, number 026-M83-TSX, is shown below and can be downloaded.

Where does MOTS-c come from?
It is encoded by a short open reading frame in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, which is why it is called a mitochondrial-derived peptide.

How should it be stored?
Keep the sealed vial at 2–8°C for short-term storage or at −20°C for long-term storage, away from light and moisture. Let a cold vial reach room temperature before opening it.

Is this the same as MOTSc?
Yes. MOTS-c is also written or searched for as MOTSc, MOTS c, MOTS-C or MOTS c peptide. All of these names refer to this mitochondrial-derived peptide.

Do you deliver MOTS-c across the UK?
Yes. We send tracked Royal Mail to anywhere in the UK, including York, Leeds, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester and London, from UK stock.
