MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is used as a reference compound in metabolic-signaling research.
As one of a small group of mitochondrial-derived peptides, MOTS-c is a tool compound for studying communication between mitochondria and the cell nucleus in preclinical models.
In cell and rodent models, MOTS-c has been investigated in the context of AMPK-pathway signaling, glucose-utilization research, and metabolic-stress adaptation. These observations are limited to laboratory and preclinical research settings and are not statements about outcomes in humans.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store lyophilized material at -20°C. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water is common for laboratory handling; keep any reconstituted solution refrigerated and use it within the timeframe appropriate to the researcher’s protocol.
Purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Each batch ships with a batch-specific certificate of analysis from an independent third-party laboratory; refer to the COA for lot-specific measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
